    An unintended consequence I've noticed in npc, is there seems to be more not straights when teams contest that are let go.

    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 administer

    should be the same for red cards
    the only difference being then, is that the red carded player doesn't come back, a different player does

    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 all

    targeting 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 stuff

    lets 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.

    I've got mixed feelings about the 20 minutes red card.

    I can see both sides, in that tackle height simply must be lower & it is working as a deterrent. However, we lost our Captain in a world cup final due to a 50/50 (in my eyes) whilst in the same game, the officials completely missed Etzebeth doing something which warrants the same punishment.

    Calls will always go either way but a red card is a game changer & thus if it's not policed accurately, then officials will have a larger bearing on an outcome than they should. Thats the problem in my eyes, which a 20 minute break somewhat alleviates.

    @No-Quarter

    agree 100 %

    if the game is sped up there will be a lot of larger players out of a job
    but a lot of smaller players with a job

    that happened in rugby league when they reduced the bench to 4 players with 8 interchanges max per game (they almost went to 6 interchanges max . . . should have)
    the intention was to get more smaller players into the game
    a few of the larger players just couldn't handle the pace and were soon gone
    never heard any thoughts of doing anything like that in rugby union

    if rugby doesn't change it'll remain a niche sport in western europe with a few small outposts in the rest of the world
    in a place like australia it'll be done (maybe already is)

    the days of the ABs running onto the field . . . throwin the ball around . . . runnin the other team off their feet . . . and gettin the dub . . . ARE GONE . . . for now

    @sparky

    we need more detail on those FFR stats

    like when the red card was issued . . . i.e. was the red issued in the first five minutes or last five minutes

    or what the score was . . . i.e. was the team red carded in front or behind on the scoreboard

    i would say if you get red carded in the first five minutes, you'd lose, game over

    if you are behind on the scoreboard when carded . . . game over

    in those games it'd be closer to 100%, and that is probably the 60% they state

    in the other 40%, the game was probably already decided by the time of the red card

    so 288 top class games were decided by red cards . . thats a lot!

    So refs in the Autumn Internationals can issue a 20-minutes Red Cards if they want to or traditional Red Card too.

    I suspect French or Irish referees won't be issuing any 20-minute red cards.

    Surely that just gives people reason to cry foul when one team gets a 20 minute red card and another doesn't. It's giving rugby officiating another opportunity to be inconsistent.

    Amateur hour and typical lack of leadership from WR.

    Isn’t that what we have in SR currently? For instance Lomani got a full red playing for the Drua earlier this year

    The same standard too - deliberate and dangerous

    Didn't realise that about super rugby reds.

    We all probably have an image in our minds about what constitutes deliberate and dangerous, but the problem is we all obviously see things differently. One set of officials and/or fans see something one way and another set sees things another. Also, deliberate/intent is very difficult to prove. Only one person really knows if something is deliberate or not.
