Rugby introduces three new laws, and trials six more
Fan-focused changes will reduce kick-tennis, outlaw the
crocodile roll and remove option of taking a scrum from a
free-kick

Rugby scraps scrums from free-kicks and unveils 20-minute red
card trials in radical changes
Teams will no longer be allowed to choose a scrum from a
free-kick under new laws to be rolled out across the game next
season, with 20-minute red cards and shot-clocks for scrums and
line-outs also to be trialled.
World Rugby confirmed on Thursday afternoon three permanent law
tweaks that will come into force from July 1 of this year.
Explaining that their plan “seeks to increase rugby’s
accessibility and relevance among a broader, younger fanbase by
embracing on-field innovation and reimagined presentation of the
sport with compelling storytelling,” the governing body also
announced several trials to take place at this summer’s Under-20
World Championship that could be rolled out across the game next
year.
The first immediate change will see scrums outlawed from
free-kicks, with teams required to kick or tap them to speed up
the game. South Africa notably called for scrums from free-kicks
following marks in their own 22 during the knockout stages of
last year’s World Cup.
The second change concerns kicks in open play, and the clause
popularly known as ‘Dupont Law’. From July 1, it will no longer
be possible for a player to be put onside when an opponent
catches the ball and either runs five metres or passes the ball.
In a bid to reduce the amount of kick tennis, offside players
must now retreat.
Finally, the ‘crocodile roll’ – the act of twisting a defending
player off their feet in the tackle area – will be outlawed.
Christian Day, the current head of the Rugby Players’
Association, has been campaigning against the ‘crocodile roll’
for more than two years and was an influential voice.
