The 20-minute red card rule will again be trialled during The Rugby Championship next month, organisers said.
The competition's controlling body SANZAAR said that if a player is sent off, he may be replaced after 20 minutes by another player.
SANZAAR CEO Brendan Morris said they believe that"a 20-minute Red Card" is a significant deterrent"to deliberate acts of foul play, while it also protects the contest of fifteen on fifteen, which is what our unions, broadcasters and fans are telling us is important". The Rugby Championship -- involving South Africa, New Zealand, Argentina and Australia -- also sees the reintroduction of a mini-tours format, abandoning the usual home-and-away structure.
