    Crawling, or any secondary movement other than placing or passing, will be penalised.

    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...

    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.

    @Dolamite selfishly, that would be fantastic (as long as Sky UK are showing this comp).

    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:

    https://www.allblacks.com/news/exciting-innovations-to-be-unveiled-during-investec-super-rugby-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).

    Yeah, I'm not defending it.
    I hate golden point enough that I'm not bothered reading further into the allocations. But I was piqued by the '1 point for turning up', so looked at that.

    BTW, in the 1995 RWC, I think. The point structure was 3 for a wins, 2 for a draw, 1 for 'playing'. Japan got a point in their 17-145 loss to NZ. So lame.

    I was being a little facetious with my original comment although the article wasn't clear.

    The Sevens series still gives the losing team 1 pt.
