Good to see you're interested in this mate.

There's alot more discussion on this in the Laws & Equipment section (General Rugby) under the thread "New Stellenbosche Laws" (I think)

Personally I think it will make the game better to watch. I'm worried that there will be alot more kicking back and forth now though. Teams seem to play alot of aerial ping-pong because they are reluctant to run the ball back for fear of losing possesion (which happens alot more now that rucks are more contestable).

But to cut a long story short, check out the thread mentioned above for more discussion on your topic.
