Also a line across the middle of the ground and automatic play on if you kick backwards in your defensive half.

The worst thing about that rule is that they are limiting the interchanges at a time when the temperatures are likely to be very high and at a time when the players need them most. Bizarre rule.

IMO it is stupid. Why trial something that really has no effect on the game ?
8 players on the bench is excessive, but unlimited changes is not....
64 interchanges per game ? Would be interested to see how many times the bench gets used during
the season proper...
