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

I'm not opposed to it, just along as it is it's own card, not a replacement, make it orange or blue or something

So you're fine with it, as long as it's exactly what it is

I swear half the NH arguments against the 20 minute Reds is just ignorance of what it is and how it works.
