Packed down
When a group of players cram their butts into a scrum like they're fighting for the last slice of pizza. It's more about squishing than skill.
The forwards packed down like a bunch of angry squirrels fighting over acorns.
They packed down so hard, the ground shook and the referee had to check if the earth was having a heart attack.
The team packed down like they were trying to fit into a phone booth and it was a bad idea.
