[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 744412, member: 39190"] This has been in the SA Varsity Cup for years now and everyone involved thinks it a sucess. I'm glad it has been bought into by another league. In the Varsity Cup though there is an emphasis on being strict at the breakdown in particular- attacking team gets the benefit of the doubt and referees are readier with a yellow. Another trial that I've found a sucess is that each team's captain gets 1 chance per half to refer a referee decision to the TMO which has an on-field presence. The effect has been positive IMO; fairer results, the fact that the captains have some input takes some pressure off of the ref and actually we've seen refs back themselves in rewarding tries where they see it rather than the inevitable TMO ref referal we see after every try these days. I wouldn't be against World Rugby pushing for global acceptance of these measures post 2015. [/QUOTE]
