Well at least I'm in agreement with them about the problems to be solved. Let's hope it works!
Removing the option to select a scrum from a free kick is the one I find strange.
Yeah I thought they were initially only going to do it on claimed free-kicks - ie catching the ball on the full in your 22m; but I suspect limiting it to that might have required more complicated and potentially ambiguous wording.
At the end of the day I don't think there's much to fear here, teams with bad scrums will still get penalised & you can still opt for a re-scrum from a penalty.
