Four new laws - including conversion shot clocks and less penalising of crooked line-out throws - will be introduced into the game worldwide from January.

All about speeding up the game. The bigest culprit right now is the whistle however. Given the size of the bokkes forwards, anything to speed them up is a good idea. But I’m still dissapointed not to see at least 2 backs mandated on the bench, or a cut to it.

To reduce the whistle it might be time to warn specific players. One warning for giving away a penalty and then a yellow card. Might be funny to see teams at 10 players

    It’s that and the previous recent set of changes where there is no longer scrum option from a free kick.
