What's the story here chaps?
I noticed that at almost every England scrum Robshaw (or was it Croft, all these forwards look alike to me) was reaching out and grabbing Redden's shirt.
Is this allowed?

The grabbing of the 9.

Having watched your front row getting demolished at the weekend, I'd think this was the least of your worries.
They probably thought he was one of the Irish forwards and tried to bind on him as the scrum went backwards over him.

Yes, yes, very funny, hardiharhar.
In other words, you don't know?

Sorry mate, I couldn't help it.
I honestly didn't see what you described. It's probably not allowed, but show me a game these days where someone isn't 'pushing the envelope'.
No one is innocent.

I didn't see it myself, nor am I an expert on the details of the rules, but I would guess that reaching out is fine, actual holding before the ball is free from the scrum is not, but I would have though Nigel Owens would have warned England about it

Have another look at the 1st couple of England scrums.
