I would like someone to explain to me how the Sport I love has been usurped by IT guys to describe an intellectual office based process. Ever play the game? Scrum is the last term one would use if they were familiar with the 8 large men/women forming a rugby scrum- usually bandaged, dirty and battered. They are integral to the physicality and violence associated with the sport. I have the scars to prove it.
I find this hijacking of the Most Macho term in sport for this purpose. Scrum Master? if one would be stealing terminology from Rugby accurately that would equate to the Hooker....

How did this happen?
