🟥 A red-carded player can be replaced with another player after 20 minutes
Excellent for unintentional head contacts, in air collisions etc. Disagree with @Dodge about level of deterrent, it's plenty. But agree with those who suggest straight red for acts of thuggery (knees, boots, punches, eye gouge etc)
If they can separate technical red cards (20 minutes and replaced) from clear redcard level thuggery (not replaced, just removed?) then I like this.

The lineout throw still needs to be within the outside shoulders.
For those saying, why not just throw it straight, it would be good if refs applied the same rules for scrum feeds.
Whataboutery doesn't help either get solved.

They should have brought in a 20 minute orange card for dangerous but not malicious head high tackles. And left red cards for gouging kicking biting etc.

Hope they do this in the future.

An unintended consequence I've noticed in npc, is there seems to be more not straights when teams contest that are let go.
I am all for less cards, but as many above, always said a straight red should remain for thug/grub acts, but these technical ones need to be dealt with differently.
Although in saying that, as @dodge says above, players need to adjust, although there seem some players who never learn and have multiple cards for those tackles...

Sounds about right. The rest of the laws they're trying to "fix" just aren't refereed properly.

That’s a thing though isn’t it? And not just in relation to rugby, or even sport. There are already laws, we don’t necessarily need more laws, just fucking police the ones we already have.

Don't try and wind back your legalise it vote now.

Having watched a lot of different grades of male and female rugby over the weekend, the game killer isn’t the RC
It’s the YC after a team has scored
Team A commits a professional foul in the act of Team B scoring
Team A loses a player for 10 mins
Team B gets awarded 3, 5, 7 points, has the ball kicked back to them, and for the next 10 mins plays against 14 players during which time most teams will score again
This creates a buffer that most teams, especially at the lower levels, can’t claw back
I would propose that if a try is prevented then the player from Team A gets a YC and goes off for 10 but can be replaced by a teammate leaving 15 on the field
After 10 mins the coach can bring the YC player back on or use it as a full substitution
If Team B scores then there is no YC, just a warning against that player from Team A
If that player from Team A commits another professional foul then it becomes a YC and the above process takes place
It’s a bit clunky but it is early here
It’s more akin to the personal and team foul system in basketball where it’s always 5 on 5 just not necessarily the same 5

Nah
what you do is send the yellow card player off,
BUT THEN, when the team with the man advantage scores (or the ten minutes expire - which ever comes first) thats the end of the card.
both teams back to equal . . . so simple to administershould be the same for red cards
the only difference being then, is that the red carded player doesn't come back, a different player doescommensense

That's the ice hockey model right?

Red cards
seems to me NH rugby is more concerned about targeting than SH
probably says a bit more about NH mentality than anything
always had west europeans down as a very huggy lot, not thuggy at alltargeting is very serious in the professional game, its a work place, and you are talking about maiming someone in the work place?
affecting the livelyhood of fellow professional? . . . somehow i think the other players will "self administer" you out of the game if you are doing goon stufflets not forget . . . you sign away a lot of your rights when you run onto the field . . . but not all of them
notice the NFL outlawed the hip drop tackle in the offseason, and used a lot of rugby video examples to do it
of course everyone started squealing
more anti-defender rules, more for the refs to do
NFL hq came out and said that they couldn't have star players getting knocked out of the game, and also said that the refs wouldn't administer it, THEY WOULD, after video reviews, with fines first then suspensions
and thats how it has worked out, any miscreant players getting a bill on Monday
fines are good at getting rid of foul play . . . the females tend to get involved
when your gf/wife/mom are telling you that thats real money, and you're a dumb ass, you soon adjust your behaviour -

The French Rugby Federation have expressed their firm opposition to 20-minute Red Cards:

@sparky From the article:
In a joint statement, the three French governing bodies say the "data collected remains insufficient" to go through with the proposal.
"Statistics provided by the FFR [French Rugby Federation] to World Rugby show that a red card does not systematically mean defeat for the penalised team," the statement said.
"Indeed, the analysis based on 480 Top 14 matches and Tier 1 international matches shows that only 60% of the teams receiving a red card lost at the end of the match."
The analysis would be more helpful is it broke down when during the match the red cards were handed out and see the correlation with the result.
Furthermore I'm sick of the false equivalence of ex-players suing and the red cards for head contact.

followed by "you just don't care about player welfare"
you know who doesn't care about player welfare? Unions with never ending club comps that result in a million little head contacts a season, that are showing to be a far more significant cause of long term brain trauma than incidental head contact from a tackler.
-
@mariner4life that plus they've allowed teams to take the piss with "injury" stoppages, and the current rules allow teams to replace their entire forward pack at half time, leading to a slower game, allowing bigger and bigger players to thrive, leading to the contact between players becoming more and more serious. Honestly watching footage from the 90s and 00s is like watching touch rugby compared to what we have today. That's your main cause of brain injuries, not the odd high tackle.
Honestly, if they just sped the game up again a lot of this would go away, but that would of course suit teams like the ABs and Wallabies so is unlikely to ever happen, so they'll just continue dishing out cards and ruining games instead.

god, why do we have to keep making changes just to suit Australia and New Zealand? The game is perfect here, thriving, and no one ever gets hurt, and clubs never go bust. You just can't handle you don't dominate any more.
