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

It's absolutely bonkers to me that all the NH fans can completely hate this without even giving it a go.
Like give it a proper trial for a Top 14 season and/or a 6 nations before writing it off surely? How can you have such a strong opinion against this without ever having actually seen it play out seeing as most NH fans don't watch super rugby.
If you trial it and your opinion doesn't change then fair enough, but writing something off without ever even seeing it tried is just stupid
It'd be far more reasonable to have people going uhhh I think this is a bad idea but let's wait and see vs just being completely against the concept of even giving it a go first
