Rugby is not a sport that is easy to go depending on the best time, and last year we saw some new laws to speed up the game.
It takes some time for the player to adapt to the change, so it is fully understanding why some fans are difficult to follow the latest regulations.
In fact, I was in a meeting with Toulon team members before playing Harlequins early this month, and we all forgot one of the new laws!
We always talk about growing games at rugby and making new audiences more attractive. But to do so, you need consistency.
The change is done for the right reason, but if you change constantly, some fans can avoid watching.
For 2025 Six Nations, there are five important new regulations. Therefore, there is a description of the possibility of seeing in the next few weeks and which team can use.
When France meets Wales, 2025 repetitions in six countries will begin on Friday evening.
‘Escort Runner’ prohibited
It is not an exaggeration to say that this has entered the international rugby in November and had a big impact on the game.
As a team became clear in the past, the defense team could help players catch the ball by protecting them from the opposition challengers.
They will do so by returning to him along the opponent’s running line, unless intentionally changing the direction of travel. Now it is forbidden.
It is to effectively improve the competitiveness of the performance competition in the air. It made a true difference.
In the past, if you are kicking from the box, you have given up effectively because it is easier to collect if the opposing pressure is reduced according to the rules. Now it is much easier for the defense chaser to arrive at the catcher and compete with him for one -on -one battle.
This rule is especially suitable for players such as Freddie Steward and Liam Williams. It was also a powerful part of my game, so I definitely enjoyed it!
This rule is a big reason why the UK has selected Cheongjid against Ireland rather than Marcus Smith. The same applies to Wales and Williams.
You can also partially explain why Wales left Cameron Winet from the squad. Winet is very small for fullback and new rules are not ideal.
Freddie Steward in the UK
Liam Williams is another Maestro in the air.
As the competition increases in the air, more attack rugby will occur if the possessions and games are separated. Good rules. I hope I’m still around for benefits!
Protect 9
Scrum-Halves are always groaning … But this new law has been favorable to them!
To enable faster play and to reduce strikes, it has been more protected for half of the default scrums of RUCKS, MAULS and SCRUMS.
We already know that Scrum-Halves should play the ball in a failure in 5 seconds, which was a positive movement. But where I think is the change of this rules, there are things in six countries.
Before it is introduced, in Scrum, in Scrum, defense Scrum-half is as much pressure as you like on the attack team’s NO 8 or NO 9 on the bottom of the set piece, as long as they leave the ball.
It usually means that they can interfere with the possessions of the attack team by interfering with or tacking their feet.
Danny Care was especially good at this. When I heard that he had taken away the only thing he had done in the last 20 years, it made me laugh!
The rules now say that defense scrum class can no longer go than in the middle of Scrum. It means that they can’t put a lot of pressure, so there’s no reason why the ball should not get away from the set piece.
Antoine Dupont will be a big beneficiary of this change. French stars don’t need help!
Former UK International Danicare would have liked this new rules that protect Scrum Holve from pressure.
The result is a more completed scrum attack. With NO 10, you will get a clean ball and you have more time to evaluate the options. Even if it is just longer, it makes all the differences in international rugby.
However, the flip side of the defense scrum half can reduce pressure to reduce pressure. Now he is more likely to fill the defensive line, making it more difficult for the attack team to break.
It means that the defense team is essentially done to work together. That’s why I think you can see a lot of short side plays in Scrums that the attack team will be surprised.
This rule is suitable for nine fastest attacks, such as Harry Randall in Antoine Dupont, Tomos Williams of Wales and ENGLAND.
20 minutes red card
I will be honest. I am not a huge fan of this.
This will be the first six countries used after this fall. In the initiative designed to punish individual players for 20 minutes for 20 minutes, the player sent to a technology violation after 20 minutes can be replaced.
The referee can still award overall and permanent red cards for deliberate and dangerous foul play. I don’t like this because I still think that much decision on Red Card can be very subjective.
The referee is human beings, so they all have different interpretations. The 20 -minute red card allows the referee to pay attention to it. It makes their job easier. It comes from making a big call to them.
SEMI Radaradra (left) showed a 20 -minute red card for the yellow card watcher.
When Wales made a sebum in the fall, Van Ladradra burned Winet with wit high. He was initially marked in yellow and was upgraded to red 20 minutes through the bunker review system.
This is a good example of what I mean. If the 20 -minute red card was not the option of the game, Radradra would have been sent immediately what foul play was from my point of view. And he would not have replaced it.
This kind of difference may look small, but it has a big impact.
The kick clock scored a goal
When you achieve a goal in a penalty or transition, the kicker has a 60 -second limit. As NO 10, I absolutely dislike this!
Because you have a ball in your hands, that time is suitable for penalty, only starts only when you put it on the tee. But it varies from conversion.
If you score a great attempt, you can’t participate as a kicker at the team celebration because you have to be careful.
It’s easy to kick and it’s not 60 seconds if it’s a straight line, but it’s not if you’re 15 years old.
As a kicker, you do not want to rush your process. I spent time if this rule was executed in the 2015 World Cup when the rules were exaggerated in the 2015 World Cup in the 2015 World Cup!
I got a fair stick to draw the kicking process from international career.
Kicker hates everything that interferes with the gun according to the goal and does not want to rush.
There is another thing. The irony of this rule is designed to speed up the game, but in some cases it is actually slowing down.
We saw some teams attempting to go to 14 men, and we had deliberately used the whole 60 seconds to switch to waste time when we just started the game.
I don’t blame the players for that, but it’s a teeth problem that I have to clean up.
More power for TMO
The protocol of television match officials has been revised, which now has the power to identify clear and obvious infringement in the final attack of play before the score is taken.
This is positive. You can understand why rugby fanatics are frustrated with endless playback and time delay, but ultimately we want to reach the right decision.
The referee must not receive a free pass to recommend the decision to the TMO assistant.
It’s okay if it takes a while to do that. The serious problem is when all endless cameras and replays are used and the wrong call is still done.
We cannot have it. Like a 20 -minute red card, the referee offers a free pass with more power of the TMO. They can depend more on assistants.
Another big positive thing in the fall is that the referee can talk with the crowd through his microphone.
It was similar to the NFL and the fans of the stadium are what you want, but even if you do not agree with the decision, it is what you want.
