To be honest I agree with South Africa we should all just stick to the same ELV's not trial after trial there's too many rules going around now it's just confusing. There's the Air New Zealand Cup rules with the 3 stage instead of 4 stage scrums than there's the Super14 ELV's that everyone just got use to and now they wanna do different ELV's for both the Super14 and Tri Nations next year WTF!!!![/b]
From IRB website
The global trial of the IRB Experimental Law Variations (ELVs) starts on August 1, 2008. However, due to the fact that the southern hemisphere season commenced in February there are some southern tournaments that are trialling more than the 13 ELVs that have been approved for global trials from August 1.
Special dispensation has been given to the southern hemisphere Unions to continue the more extensive ELV trials that are already in place. These tournaments will come in line in with the global trial at the start of the next southern hemisphere season.
The IRB will convene a meeting with representatives from the IRB Law Project Group, Executive Committee and Union representatives in March 2009 to begin a full review of the ELV programme and to recommend to the IRB Rugby Committee which ELVs, if any, should be adopted into Law. The Rugby Committee will then report to the IRB Council and in July 2009 the IRB will determine one set of uniform Laws that will be played globally from August 2009 onwards.[/b]
With some of them being trialled in the GP, I was prepared to have an open mind and give them a chance. I don't need any diehard ELVers to quote stats about how many scrums or whatever; we've had 3 rounds of matches now, I've been to 2 GP matches this season and have watched highlights etc., and from what I can see, from what other people are saying and from what the players and coaches are saying, everything seems to be a muddle.[/b]
It might be worth to point out that the confusion over the refereeing is more to do with random IRB refereeing dictats than the ELVs themselves.[/b]
Obviously no one Australian should ever be allowed to have an opinion, or at least any time to be heard. Cricket/ rugby/ athletics there's always someone senior with something stupid and pom-bashy to say that makes no sense at all.[/b]
