Many of World Rugby’s law proposals are to be welcomed - but I don’t like the 20-minute red card or removing the scrum option from a free kick. Here’s why ⬇️ https://t.co/13QbVFZCQL
👍🏼 'Croc Roll' clearout & Dupont Law Loophole out are two good things. 👎🏼 Removal of scrum 'free-kick' option & 20 min Red Card are daft ideas. Hopefully sense prevails at the World Rugby Council in May... unfortunately the perception is that it won't... https://t.co/9rLxwDT89Z
