[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 632353, member: 39190"] The South African varsity cup is quite big and gets televised on SA Mondays prime time on Super Sport. They trialed and still do where a try and conversion is worth 5 and 3 and penalties 2 points. Oddly enough it has lead to greater speed, better passing and more attacking intent from our juniors. The key though is to dish out yellows quite easily for opposition killing the ball. It has worked quite well ITO speeding the game up. The other thing I liked is that captains get a TMO referral per half. If they use it and an incorrect call gets overturned they retain the referral. If not, they lose it so that what you get is that captains generally only use it when they just about know there was shenanigans in the lead up to an opposition try. So you don't get UNNECESSARY hold ups. The refs tend to make calls on tries or not as it happens which on the whole makes games shorter compared to now where every bloody try gets sent upstairs by the refs. [/QUOTE]
