Rugby union struggles for visibility in Australia, where rugby league and Aussie Rules dominate. But it is just dwarfed by AFL and rugby league within Australia.”The new rules have been fairly well received although Wallabies prop Scott Sio said the forwards may need to improve their fitness to adjust to the added speed of the game.“You’ve always got to spice it up when you’re trying something new, add a bit of variety,” Sio said. The Australian Super Rugby competition is set to add seven law changed with several appearing to be borrowed from rugby league.Scott Sio believes it may take a bit of time for forwards to get up to speed.Australian rugby is set to return with a new attacking flare when the five-team Australian Super Rugby tournament kicks off on July 3 with seven new rules.The rules are experimental and have been signed off by coaches, players, referees coaches and administrators, but have a distinct rugby league flare.Super Rugby AU has adopted the red card replacement rule and the so-called Super Time for tied matches that will be in place for the New Zealand’s Super Rugby Aotearoa domestic competition, starting Saturday in front of what is expected to be a packed house.Australian administrators have also embraced ideas from other countries and the NRL, including goal line dropouts instead of five-yard scrums when an attacking player is held up in-goal or knock on over the tryline, golden point extra-time for draws, There will also be a red card replacement rule with a red carded player replaced after 20 minutes, assuming a team still has substitutes left.Hopefully the new rules can reinvigorate Australian rugby.Rugby Australia Director of Rugby Scott Johnson said the rules were to add “some new attacking dimensions to the game”.“The level of engagement was outstanding from the players and coaches involved in the process and we ended up with a set of law variations that were unanimously agreed upon by all 24 people involved,” he said in a press release.“A couple of the variations including the 50/22 and 22/50s have been trialled previously in the NRC and we have added some principles around line dropouts to encourage more short attacking kick options near the line, and a Super Time tie-breaker in the event of a draw.“We will also zero in on the application of law around the breakdown and scrums, trying to limit some of the down time and improve the flow of the game.“Throughout the process we stuck to the principle that whatever we changed, the game still had to be Rugby, and nothing could compromise the Wallabies’ preparation for Test Rugby.
"We assembled some of the best minds in the game from a range of different roles to look at adding some new attacking dimensions to the game while at the same time sticking to some key principles to preserve the fabric of the sport," Johnson said.One key change will see dropouts taken from the try line instead of the 22-meter line if the defending player touches the ball down inside the goal area.There are also variations on the 50-22 and 22-50 laws.Under the new-look rules, a kick taken from within the defending team's 50-meter area that goes into touch within the opposition's 22 after bouncing will earn a lineout for the kicking team.Similarly, a kick taken inside the 22 that travels into touch within the opposition's 50 after bouncing will be rewarded with a lineout to the kicking team.Other innovations will allow red-carded players to be replaced after 20 minutes, and two five-minute periods of "super time" tacked on to the end of games if drawn, with victory awarded to the first team to score points.Referees will also crack down on policing the breakdown, while limiting the number of scrum resets. “And it gives the viewership something new to watch; hopefully some more exciting footy in the attacking halves, players trying something new.”In more good news for Rugby, the sport came to a broadcast agreement with Fox Sports for the 12-week, five-team domestic tournament involving the four Super Rugby franchises and the Perth-based Western Force, while New Zealand’s Super Rugby Aotearoa will also be broadcast on Fox Sports as of Saturday June 13 for it 10-week five-team competition.
