Goal-line drop-outs, 50-22s and 20-minute red cards: Rugby Australia's proposed rule changes | SMHsport

: ‘‘We absolutely have to modify the rules and make it a differentiated product for television. I think the broadcasters will possibly re-engage if we do thatAttacking teams will receive a lineout throw if they kick the ball from within their own half indirectly into touch inside their opponent's 22.

However, it is the goal-line drop-out that has players excited, particularly because it encourages more attacking kicks inside the 22. And, while not confirmed, it is believed that if a defending player grounds the ball in goal, they would have to take a drop kick from under their goalposts.Meanwhile, a 20-minute red card is set to be implemented. Players who are shown a red card can be replaced by a teammate - only after 20 minutes of further play - in a bid to punish the player more than the team.Too many rugby results have hinged on early red cards, and RA's expected will reflect that problem.

SMHsport If I could understand what’s planned I’m sure I’d think they were trying to turn Union into League. THEY ACTUALLY DON’T REALIZE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. Too many technical rules, no spectators or viewers know what most penalties are for. Step 1. Bring back rucks with ball on ground.

SMHsport Becoming Rugba Leeg! The greatest game of all. 👍

SMHsport act now on climate change to protect our wonderful planet

SMHsport 'If we just become Rugby League really slowly, maybe people won't notice.'

SMHsport They should try play the balls, six tackle limits and forcing the defence back 10m. See how that goes?

'Almost like NFL': Jones wants rugby to follow NRL and speed up playEngland coach Eddie Jones says rugby has turned into a stop-start visual product similar to the NFL and is calling for at least two fundamental changes to speed up play I wonder where he got this idea from FOXNRL NRL He is spot on with this analysis, I can barely watch Rugby Union now because of the constant stoppages. The game needs to flow. Been saying for years that rugby rule changes are needed to ensure the survival of the game. Most important rule change is to get the backlines separated. Almost every pass along the backline now is a hospital pass
