A host of law changes, including a 20-minute red card system and one-stop mauls, look set to be implemented across world rugby.
This week, a hugely significant announcement was rather quietly made by World Rugby, with the game’s governing body confirming that a series of law changes have moved a step closer towards global adoption.
30-second scrum and lineout limit: Scrums and lineouts must be set within 30 seconds, managed by the referee. World Rugby Chairman Sir Bill Beaumont said: “This is another important step forward for the Shape of the Game programme. As a package, these trials demonstrate our commitment to making rugby as enjoyable as possible for audiences, while maintaining the integrity and competitive nature of the game. The positive outcomes from the trials reinforce our belief that these adjustments will bring lasting benefits to both players and fans.
