into the orbits of World Rugby, England’s RFU and the Welsh Rugby Union 18 months ago.
We don’t hear about it much down here but you can bet it consumes large chunks of the agenda of the World Rugby executive committee, as well their legal, risk and communications teams. But there is a creeping suspicion World Rugby are going beyond that in repeatedly denying a recommendation from the law reform group to trial the 20-minute red card globally.
Thompson celebrates winning the 2003 Rugby World Cup with his England teammates."I can’t remember it," he said of the moment just 17 years ago."I’ve got no feelings about it."to use it, the 20-minute red card appears to be a victim of poor timing more than poor reasoning. As well as wanting to do the right thing on player welfare, World Rugby appears to want to bedoing the right thing.
geerob Rugby, the game where you can be given 10 minutes in the bin for attempting and intercept. And have nothing but a penalty for getting a guy in the head.
