That crawling along the ground after being tackled has been ruled out.
Breaking down the breakdown
The key focal points for the SpecSavers referees at the breakdown are summarised below:
• Ball carriers will be allowed only one dynamic movement after being tackled.
• Crawling, or any secondary movement other than placing or passing, will be penalised.
• Tacklers will be expected to roll away immediately in the direction of the side-line. This will be a referee’s “number one priority” at the tackle.
• There will be "extra focus” on the offside line with defenders expected to be “clearly” onside to provide attacking teams more space.Sounds good but I can just see there now being an issue on how the ref decides if a player was tackled.

Being able to replace a red carded player after 20 minutes is a good one.
Agree. It was a fairly obvious change and it took too long to make it but thank god its finally been done

Love it!
Yeah the tactical extra roll as your tackled needs to die in a fire!

Only if the tackler was still holding you when you went to ground...

Knee on ground is tackled. It says so above. No room for weird interpretation eh bro

Do you think they’ll revert back to 7.30pm kick offs if we move to level 1?
I know the main reason for the early kick offs was so teams could fly in and fly out on the same day but now teams would be able to travel the day before and leave the day after games.

If a team loses via golden point, they can still earn bonus points for scoring three or more tries than the opposition in either regular time or extra time.
Wait, what? You can't lose in extra time and score tries. Someone's a bit optimistic.
Positive spin.
1 pt for the losing team is a joke if that is just a standard points allocation. A point for participation.
I had to read it. They get a point for having drawn after 80 minutes, not everyone gets a point in every game.

Here's the full article on the innovations to SR Aotearoa:
My innovation suggestions.
Play the music through the PA for the full 80 minutes so we can't hear there's no crowd noise.
Fire the flame throwers for the full 80 minutes, a completed wall of flames, blocking the view of the empty seats.Music and flame throwers, sure fire bet to increase crowds. As has been evidenced by the growing attendance figures. Just ask any marketing man, DJ, or propane salesman, they'll back me up.

@Rapido I would have preferred if a team wins in Golden Point they get only 3 pts and the losing team gets 1 pt. This means the winning team gains an extra point while the losing team loses a point (based on each team usually getting 2 pts from a draw).
