What he said. There's also the useful fact that the hooker on the side with the put-in is closer to the put-in than their opposite number, so the ball passes their leg first.
It is still worth doing - you do get scrums won against the put-in even in top-class games with well-matched packs. Even if you win possession, you need to at least hold the scrum steady and not get pushed to pieces or turned.
