Is This varsity cup Rugby Rule Genius, Or Just Maths Homework With Gumboots On?
from Cut The Kak · host Chad & Byron
Rugby's trialling a new scoring rule and I genuinely can't decide if it's elite innovation or the sport trying to speed run confusion.After a try, you've got 20 seconds to choose, take the safe 2-point kick, or tap to start a 120-second "tap period" to chase an extra 5 points. You restart from the 22, defenders line up 10 meters back, and the clock keeps ticking.But here's the chaos, no scrums, no lineups, no drop goals, and you only get two tap attempts per half, so it's basically "choose your own adventure", but with sweating.So what is it, brilliant entertainment that gets new fans in, or rugby making itself harder to explain than the offside law?
