Having played a lot of rugby in my youth, I remember that scrums basically involved having one's head and ears rubbed very harshly by someone else's sweaty scalp while severe pressure was exerted on your neck and back. During all this, the steaming mass of teenage boys never really moved anywhere and very often ended in a collapse in the mud. I have never really understood why the name Scrum was chosen or whether the people who named it have ever been in one!

- watwut 5y agoSounds like the name matches tho. In figurative sense, it is like that. Plus a lot of arguing about non consequential things.
