1) Absolutely insane.
2) Sounds OK but is very exploitable, stick to penalties.
3) Needs a bit of trialling but sounds like it could provide some more options, how hard is it to drop the wingers back to defend? Will possibly open up some wide counter-attacking moves on the last play.

If the offence happens on 0 or 1 tackle then you dont really get any benefit. I understand its purpose and it sounds good, but when you think about it there are too many flawes. The other 2 are just stupid.

The wiping of the tackle count needs a bit of tweaking, in order to allow a team to quickly choose if they want to take the full penalty instead. I couldn't see if the ref(s) were signalling the penalties on TV, if they weren't they need to.

Other than that it does speed up the game and punishes wrestling techniques.

That's what I was aiming at when I posted this.

Power play was bull- but I think the penalty awarded with a play on back to zero could have something if they tinker with it.

With the 40/20 and last nights 50/30 or whatever it was, why not just have that kick from anywhere in your own half as long as you are behind the line and it goes in to touch 40 or whatever metres it is away?

Say you're near the half way line and you kick it out in the oppositions 10, it's the same as a 40/20 anyway isn't it, so the kick is just as skillful as a 40/20.
