Interesting clip on new RWC reffing protocols, and also Nick Mallett discussing Irish ball security:

Seems a step forward.

The Irish one is not RWC, no logo and Vodafone advert. I liked the Japanese one, details with Fleur de Lis very nice

The Irish rwc jersey is a near identical design.

20-minute red card will not feature at the Rugby World Cup

Contrary to recent reports, the law variation dubbed the '20-minute red' cards will not feature at the Rugby World Cup in France.

@Stargazer really hope one of the NH teams gets on the wrong side of a Red Card early on and it loses the game for them.

I was thinking the same. France in the opening game will do!

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae Nah, need more than one country and the Anglo-French rivalry will just see the other home nations celebrate when a Frenchy gets sent off. It should be early in an English and in an Irish game.

[taniwharugby]

@Stargazer haha Sexton in his first game, and Farrell

cos thats a Judiciary visit too.

[Bovidae]

The opening game for maximum impact, and then a QF.

[KiwiMurph]

Are they going to at least use the initial yellow + reviewable/upgradable to red system to take the pressure off of the ref to make a rushed decision?

[Machpants]

Yep every 6 Nations get several early game reds that are later dismissed by the judiciary would be perfect
