[QUOTE="An Tarbh, post: 85826"] Well there's been a few changes made for this series. Each quarter has been reduced from 20 minutes to 17:30, if a player is sent off no replacement will be allowed and a yellow card will result in 15 minutes in the sin bin. Some of them seem a bit strange to me, don't know why the time has been reduced, fitness was only really a problem for Ireland in the first few series since the 98 resumption, unless it has something to do with the brainless decision to play the series in November after the hour has changed with the second test in Croke Park which still has no floodlights. The Red card one is a no brainer, how that wasn't in place already is beyond me, while the 15 min sin bin seems a bit excessive, especially when it's 10 minutes for an 80 minute game in rugby. Rules are fairly simple though, 6 points for a goal, 3 for an over and 1 point for a wide. Not much else on top of that, there's 2 refs, 1 from each organisation, just hope the Aussies don't send the same clown who was in charge last year, not making excuses for us we were shite, but how he let some of those closeline tackles go was a bit strange to say the least. The Series are currently tied at 6-6 so an added incentive for both teams to win the McAnallen Cup. [/QUOTE]
