Anybody interested in Rugby here?

Rules evolution brought some good and some bad things to Rugby.
One of the really good things is the possibility for referees to have a look at the video replay when they're not sure if the player scored or not (quite recent, maybe 5 or 6 years).
One of the really bad things is in the area of the ruck (when there's a bunch of players piling up) the referee can whistle pretty much anytime he want's because a clean ruck doesn't exist, while a few years ago referees whistled in a ruck only when there was a clear fault or a clear intention to pollute the game.
