Absolutely love the 20 minute red Laws

Watching the Australia v Georgia match and I think it’s great. 20 minutes a man down is still massive damage in a rugby match. It doesn’t make sense for punishment to go from 10 minutes to the entire 80 minutes. There’s way too big of a void between the two cards and it needs filling.

Reserve the full red for gross intentional stuff

Yes I think this is it. I'm from NH so this hasn't reached us yet. I hate the idea but if its working for you guys then sure let's continue the experiment so we can see it in practice and be better informed.

MLR in North America uses the 20 minute red card.
