i think the topic came up for 06
i'm wondering if any of the hex kings on this forum have examined the hex during a game... what changes when a player is red carded?
can you modify the hex values so that 8 players are red carded?
when a forward is red carded, the game still knows how to pack a scrum, so maybe it will know what to do if there are only 3 forwards on the ground.
the only other difference would be a place kick instead of a drop kick for the conversion.
if it was possible it would need to be done in a trainer type application. ie. program always stay active and has a "play 7's" button on it which sets the 8 players to red card = on. the prog should also have a play 15's" button which removes the red cards from the 8 players.
the 7's option would only be valid during the game... bit of a hack job but it might work
