What I don't understand is that Rugby League gets far less viewers than rugby union according to tv viewer stats, so why is world rugby trying to cater to a smaller audience.

My issue with the potential changes to the bench is this. The leading factor behind this is the argument is around fatigue either causing a more open game or a safety concern. Let me pose this question and would love to hear a different understanding. there are 8 replacements. 99% of games the full bench will be utilized. What is the problem that the springboks decide to expose fatigue in their backline rather than their forwards? Why is this a problem. i could argue countries who utilize a 5-3 split are exposing more forwards to fatigue and injury than the springboks. the argument goes both ways. People are just hating. This is elite sport. Work harder and beat the springboks. simple. (although im a bok fan so hopefully not).

[@user-qe1tv1bu2f]

Ireland already exposed the boks, and 5-3 or 7-1 split doesn't really matter, we skidded through the world on the bones of our backsides by 3 x 1 points wins just. This does not tell me we were better, stronger,fitter, bomb squad, made different, wild dogs etc etc. If we won by 8-12 points X3 I would concur that , that is the advantage of playing fresh legs. It's true we caught up France and England, but we fckd up with ABs who caught up to us and we got real lucky the 3rd umpire was honest and their kicker did a manie libbok.

I agree as an AB fan that the new laws do not favour the Boks strengths. They did exactly the same thing when the Abs dominated the game. We in the Southern Hemisphere have less votes in World Rugby to maintain the laws and retain an amazing game. It is up to international coaches to catch up to the Boks ................not change laws. It must be remembered that the Boks are the best in the World but three games were only won by a point. Therefore that should not be a licence to change rules. Pissed off to say the least

I have been saying that we should get rid of the scrum for years, even when my team (England) ground Australia down in RWC 2007. I think these rule changes CAN take the game in a better direction. However, I always chuckle when SA use the laws to their advantage.

[@djevobloem9301]

Why don't you go and watch touch rugby or league rugby, Springboks never win 100% of the scrums. The best way to have counter the scrums is if you don't want to scrum give a penalty away then. Rugby used to be a game of power (forwards) and phase (backs). That's why you could see players with the likes of Joe Maller and Jason Robinson on the same field

[@user-ej7qj6sw8s]

I think they should also look at the tall people in the lineouts. The line out jumpers must not be taller than Faf. Also, why don't they limit the weight of players to 80Kg's. Maybe they should be waring pink dancing shoes, and there should always be a box of tissues in the scrum. And there should be a psychologist available when you lose a scrum. WTF

[@ongaguma2760]

[@the_journeyer_xroads]

I think this is a teacup looking for a storm. We will still have scrums and lineouts, the 2 main elements that differentiate rugby from league, so the “sport for all shapes and sizes” remains. After watching rules changes for the last 50 years, one learns to adapt…… The other changes are logical too, including the red card situation. Once the preserve of the outright thuggery of yesteryear, with eye-gouging, biting, heat butts, and stomping, 80% of cards these days are more of an accidental nature, the result of a high-paced contact sport. The pendulum on that one has swung too far for mine……which proves I have my own biases as well I guess, lol. But as Tana Umaga once said “ rugby is not tiddlywinks”! I’d have also reduced the subs to 4 as well. That caters to the safety concerns, but brings back fatigue to the sport. I liked how rugby used to have a high aerobic requirement but is much less so now. We have too many players that can only last for 50 minutes max. I want to see how effective you are at the 70 minute mark and beyond! In my day, we only had injury reserves, but accept the need for subs……but 4 is enough.

[@user-vz1fv9rn4y]

Rugby is an 80 minute game for elite athletes not forty minutes each for behemoths with out the stamina to go the distance. Fatigue should be the leveller between size/skills and stamina. As it used to be when there were only injury replacements. Fatigue naturally opens the game up and makes for a more balanced and open contest where skills and stamina count. It also means size is not the dominant consideration and coaches have to be better smarter. It’s not anti South African it’s anti dull.

[@djevobloem9301]

You should have to admire the Springbok backs then in the RWC final of 2023 they had to go the distance and against the best attacking team in the world. There was only one backup. So if they get cramps or shoulder injury they still had to soldier on.

[@user-vz1fv9rn4y]

Not a lot to admire when the forwards provide most of the effort and backs get to run along and whatch on. You could admire a prop or lock hooker who can run the full 80 and still line up in the defence. There are very few and none in South Africa England or France.

[@djevobloem9301]

The right way to handle the free kick from the scrum is. If your opponent gives a free kick away from the scrum then you can kick out and get the line out. Red card: if your player injure a player and that player has to leave the field then your team is stuck on 14. No sub after 20min. On the high tackles they should look at how the ball carrier ran the ball. How the hell are you going to stop a player like Antonio running at you elbows tucked into his knees

[@brandondowell9623]

Totally agree with you on the Red Card, rugby is a team sport and your actions ultimately dictate the outcome of the game for your team. If you knock a ball on or miss a tackle, you let the team down- same with a moment of madness resulting in a red card.

[@nickeybotha2155]

I’ll stick my head above the parapet…. I don’t really have an issue with these rules. I am an AB supporter though, and the AB scrum can match or better any scrum currently but it’s not the centrepiece of our game. I do understand why SA supporters don’t support this change though considering the success the Bok’s have had with their scrum lately. 20 minute red card rule as actually brilliant in my opinion. There’s foul play and there’s ‘foul’ play. Most of the red cards the last few years are for accidental head contact or poor technique. I have only seen one red card for genuine intentional foul play the last few years and that was a head butt from a Fijian Drua player in the super rugby this year. Glad to see the croc roll go and the DuPont rule applied. Finally, I do hope the soon to be trialled 30 sec setup limit for scrum and lineout and 60 sec for kicks comes in every where. There’s far too much dicking around in those parts of the game.

[@vaughngilbert7026]

The scrum in 22m after a mark call is a ridiculous law change. This call by Rassie was extremely risky. The risk is giving away a penalty or getting scrummed creating a turn over in our own 22m. It was there to show our scrum confidence and immense strength. This law change is deliberately directed to South Africa. Who are the people changing laws? The red card 20min law 😅. What happens when the same player gets 2 red cards, will he then be given a uno card. WTF

[@theriddler5601]

It shouldn’t matter much. It’s biased but we should never dwell on it. We are obviously going to keep our DNA but improve on it with coaches like Jerry Flannery who will spread his ideas into our defence and Tony Brown who will assist in bringing about an inventive running game.

[@NS-nk9hf]

Naaaah lets keep our panties dry. OK Sir John Kerwin will be happy about these changes. Already scrums are less per game. Its not uncommon to see the first scrum after 20 - 30 min ie. Shanks vs Claimont. So the big scrumers will come on in the second half. More skilful hard running forwords the future ie Roos and Savia. Don't worry...Rassie, Flannery and the Fox already knew this.

What is ridiculous is the assumption that the bokke win all their scrums. Have you seen how bokke get drilled, often enough by other scrums. Sports us meant to uplift, no kick people in the teeth, when they are winning. Ruddy wan,ers, all of them. People want to see scrums. That's one of the attractions. Rugby is going woke

World rugby behaving like children just because south Africa will counter these laws

Love the 20 minute red card - refs can be tough on discipline without running the game -

[@juliansteyn7050]

What a disgrace

[@french.blackdevil1967]

WR want to destroy rugby XV..This is not Xlll. So stop doing non sense decisions. Scrums is a part of rugby..You can see the domination of a team..These people changing the law and rules for nothing are stupid...Old dudes playing as sorcerers...🤬🤬🤬😡😡

[@GrahamMayer]

I was watching until you started ranting about the 20 minute red card. Bye.

[@peterwesterman9773]

Why don't you start calling it basketball

[@firepunch5001]

This is bullshit what do the springboks have to do...geez the all blacks must be happy

[@sprigcs]

why? They are not scared of the boks scrum.

[@anthonyrowe8244]

Might as well watch football from now on 🙄

[@rubendutoit586]

And as for your isue with the 20 minute red card, which I think is great. How would you feel spening R100 000 to get to the final of a World Cup only for your team to be red carded in the 10th minute for an ACCIDENTAL head knock. But with this you at least know your team will have to survive 20 minutes and then they still have a chance. Your so biased it's ridiculous. If it happened to our team we would have been livid and screaming for changes, but because it didn't It's all good. Remember 2011? When it was the refs fault again It's not so lekker when the shoe is on the other foot, all I'm saying.

Your content is too soft brah. My TV is on full blast and still struggle to hear you. Maybe its the accent as well.

[@bronsykstus4421]

RL is boring

[@melthenning9140]

Doesn't matter anymore. Rassie has different ideas and is done with scrums. It's all about attack attack attack. We are now going to show the world what the meaning of running rugby is.
