World Rugby has announced that it is trialling a new system for reviewing contentious on-field incidents in rugby.
The so-called television match official (TMO) bunker system is being tested in this season’s Super Rugby Pacific tournament and will be extended to the World Rugby Under-20 Championship in South Africa this summer.
The trial will be extended to the Test arena ahead of the World Cup in France later this year if it is successful and has the support of match officials, players, unions, and competitions.
The new system aims to reduce the number of on-field replays of incidents and to speed up the game.
England’s Genge Cited for Dangerous Tackle
England prop Ellis Genge has been cited for a dangerous tackle during Bristol’s Gallagher Premiership defeat against Sale Sharks.
He was yellow-carded after he tackled Sale flanker Tom Curry during the second half of Bristol’s 36-20 loss.
The Rugby Football Union said that an independent disciplinary panel will hear the case on Tuesday.
Aneurin Owen Bids to End Injury-Ravaged Season on a High
Dragons centre Aneurin Owen is aiming to end his injury-ravaged season on a high at Judgement Day.
Owen has only made four appearances this season due to injuries but made a successful comeback as a second-half replacement in the recent defeat to Ulster at Kingspan.
He is now looking forward to taking on the Scarlets as part of Judgement Day this Saturday.
Owen said that his injury-plagued season has been challenging, but he is now in a better place and appreciates being part of the squad.
Conclusion
The latest rugby news includes the announcement of a new TMO bunker system being trialled in rugby to review contentious on-field incidents.
Additionally, England’s Genge has been cited for a dangerous tackle during Bristol’s Gallagher Premiership defeat against Sale Sharks.
