both clocks stopped and started. I can't see any reason why one would go up and the other downWe know a game should be 2 halves of 40 mins therefore easy to see how far the game has progressed. Spectators especially on TV will unlikely record the time the offender is invited to take a rest so in game elapsed time it would be difficult to track whereas counting down keeps a record. Always gets interesting when 2 or 3 players are cooling off.

no - and only one of BBC/ITV had a YC clockwhere their SCs in the 6N games at the w/e? I only saw EvS and didnt notice it.
I think you misinterpreted!both clocks stopped and started. I can't see any reason why one would go up and the other down
I think you misinterpreted!
We know a game is 2*40 mins therefore counting up is easy but who from the public or maybe even the team coaches etc record the time a card was issued? It's much easier to say how long left, in fact that is the question frequently asked therefore displaying the time remaining on the card is an reference for players and team officials to manage the players.
Ireland v France match clock going up card clock counting down all looks good to me:

Because the front row can't do arithmetic?The YC clock could just as easily count from 0 to 10 though
I do like the countdown on YC and how the bar slowly gets smaller too. Nice visual guide when you’re too far from the screen to make out the numbers.The YC clock could just as easily count from 0 to 10 though

Yes, I would have both clocks counting down to zeroI do like the countdown on YC and how the bar slowly gets smaller too. Nice visual guide when you’re too far from the screen to make out the numbers.
But The YC clock has the same problem.. but they count down on that one..If the TK clock counts down, it would naturally go into negative time at the end of each half. I would think that TV count up so that when it goes past 80 mins it's the easiest for all spectators to understand.
It now changes colour to red after 80 minutes, to emphasise the change.
Well, it's connected in the sense that the two clocks stop and start in syncIt might be that although the official clock is (almost certainly) connected to the TV's clock, I doubt that the sin bin clock is. I wouldn't be surprised that it's an unofficial timer for TV only, and not referred to by the officials when returning the player to the field.
I’ve wondered why we make them wait rather than saying they can rejoin from their dead ball line once their 10 mins are up.(They just stop when they get to zero so we don't see how much time the player is actually off the pitch for )
