As seen in the Southern Hemisphere.


Quote
Captains will be allowed one challenge per game to review try-scoring and foul play up to the 75th minute.

In the last five minutes a captain can challenge any decision, provided he has not made a previous challenge.

In addition, when attackers are held up over the try-line, the defending team will drop out from their goal-line.

The rule will also apply to in-goal knock-ons and when defenders ground the ball from attacking kicks.

When a player is sent off, his team will be down to 14 men for 20 minutes before he can be replaced by another player.

This is an interesting one - rewarding the defending team if the ball is held-up.  How many times do we see teams defending phase after phase, wave after wave, on their own line for 10 minutes before eventually conceding, but now there's an opportunity for them to potentially clear their lines.

Someone has literally taken aspects from other sports, Ice Hockey, GAA and Rugby League and dressed them up as "innovations".

Well they are innovations in rugby union aren't they?

These have been trialled in NZ and Oz. The captain’s challenge has been used once in NZ Super Rugby. Why not try out new ideas to make the game more attractive to a young audience? Those of us in our twilight years must remember that we want the game to goon after we depart and to do that it must suit those now in their early years.
