World Rugby confirms changes to be implemented across the global game

See this is what I hate about the halfback shit. Mitchell tries to roll it back with his foot, can't reach so rolls it back with his hand until it's out of the ruck, then rolls it into the perfect position with his foot, then puts his hands on it ready to pass, for a few seconds.
Get rid of this.

It's noticeable how much slower the game is at Test level comparing SR and the 6N. The referees of the Eng v Scot and Wales v Ire in no hurry to speed up play.

Unless there is a push from the top to lessen stoppages, and keep the game flowing, it will continue as is

New rules have sped game up and had a very positive effect on the first couple of rounds of Super Rugby. More ball in play players getting very tired and defense ragged in the last 20 minutes.
Give it time. Coaches have only had a few games to figure out how to fuck around with it

Northern Hemisphere?
I'll be keen to see what refs the Boks get, and whether they have the balls to stop the phat phucks going down for injury every few minutes.
As @MN5's favourite player Healy said to Ranatunga: “You don’t get a runner for being an overweight, fat fluffybunny”
I agree with Owens and others that ball-in-play time being higher doesn't necessarily mean a better game, but there's also taking the piss.

The sole benefit is 40mins of poor rugby is still more rugby than 30mins.

It was Haddin who was my less than favourite player but time is healing the wounds.
That’s not a bad pun for this early on a Monday morning.

Worst rule implementation is no contest at linesout and it doesn’t have to be straight
Practically guarantees a try from a 5m lineout
75% inside 22m
Should be the other way round
No contest then it should be measured by a laser
