FWIW, that is a penalty in a real rugby scrum
Can't bring your opposite to ground either intentionally or not.
Also I know shorthand language is divorced from origin, but it is amusing that people use "scrum" to denote unregulated scenarios of multiple people scrapping/wrestling when the modern scrum (at least since the start of professionalism) is one of the most technical and heavily regulated parts of the game (even I disagree with the dominant French interpretation of it).
