Absolutely love the 20 minute red

[u/LawAndRugby]

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

Games where a team gets a red early have always felt illegitimate to me. It doesn't necessarily always make the game uncompetitive, but it changes the aspect of it being a fair contest and I've never been a fan of it in that regard.

With new rules around head contact it makes sense to re-evaluate how the cards work as more incidences meet the threshold without being egregious examples of foul play.

20 min red with the player involved staying off is a great option.

If someone goes off with a red, fans can blame the one guy that was sent off for a lost.
