Worth noting many current players are pushing for this change as well as are lots in the medical community. It’s got merit

I sat next to Nigel Owens in a dinner a few months after the World Cup 2015, he was in favour of this, and so he said were many other people in the game.
I know many on here are not really Owens's greatest fans, but when top referees, players, medical staff, are talking about it, then at least the rugby world shout respect their views and discuss it.
For what it's worth which is not a lot I know, I totally agree with the idea. |

Its worth a lot Dai - true rugby fans like yourself know when their game is in trouble. Our game was meant to be a handling game & we need to get back to that. The Lions series has truly highlighted many of the wrongs with the current game. That is not meant to decry the Boks who are playing to the rules & lets not forget are World Champions.

Exactly you can’t blame coaches for doing what they think they need to win, the lawmakers just need to tweak things so to incentivise more entertaining and skilful strategies

if they speed it up, increase ball in play time and reduce collisions, the all blacks may put 70 on the aussies next time

Indeed they might - but as things stand they won't put many on the Boks

There is some merit in this , to many subs . If there any sense with the law makers , make it illegal to clear out the jackaler. How many very serious injuries have there been? since Gwyn Jones broke his neck years ago . Ban the box kick , terrible to watch . Another very dangerous area of the game , the aerial battle, so dangerous . Game does not need this boring tactic . It made the SA v Lions unwatchable for so many people .

so people think keeping players on the pitch for 80 minutes will speed up the game?
Rugby is going backwards at a rate of knots...
we've gone from creating rules to protecting players, to getting rid of tactical subs and forcing players to play 80 minute rugby week in week out... |

The increasing size of players is also a big issue, so to speak.. I wonder how much of that is from natural training or "normal" diet? Even looking at games only ten years ago a massive difference in physique and collision impact these days.

I don’t like the way they hold the ball these days and the length of the grass. This is the important thing.

This is an insightful interview with Cardiff High Performance manager Trystan Bevan.
