Im presuming that is a tongue in cheek suggestion ;-)or push an explanation out to everyone via an app .

Wouldn’t it then make more sense to just do it on the field when it happens?get all of that.
So why not at the next downtime demonstrate and talk through the decision "on field" ?
not at all - in an app or on twitter would be idealIm presuming that is a tongue in cheek suggestion ;-)
Does this mean any head contact under Law 9.11 is a red with no option for mitigation?Oh, good spot!
This totally explains the referee's decision in this case, and I really hope the DC doesn't mess things up by overturning it.
It makes me wonder...
Given that this new guidance is dated March 9, 2023, shouldn't the DC have been using it in the Freddie Steward case? The match was on Sat March 18th, and the hearing was the following Tuesday, March 21st.
And if the DC were using the new guidance, shouldn't they have realised that reckless play under 9.11 could never have warranted mitigation under this framework because it's always illegal?
The confusion deepens!!
didds, surely 99% of people already take their phone everywhere.so everybody HAS to own and take a smartphone to the game, with sufficient data (or availability of wifi) and that data / wifi provision have sufficient bandwidth to cover a large crowd all using it at the same moment, also with sufficient battery to remain powered up.
thats a big ask for something that can be done with the existing infrastructure in the ground wrt screens and PA.
However, good luck getter the decision if you are on O2didds, surely 99% of people already take their phone everywhere.
maybe. I dunno.didds, surely 99% of people already take their phone everywhere.
yes I could have said 'people [who attend live rugby matches]'i dunno. You asked "surely 99% of people already take their phone everywhere."
I answered that question.
Iniit.
I am of an age where I am not welded to my phone, I hope others are the same.didds, surely 99% of people already take their phone everywhere.
And personally Im of the opinion once you start assuming "everybody" has this sort of access then sections of society get excluded.
meanwhile Ive been in a ground where despite 5 bars and allegedly 4G i couldn't get a connection to anything as all the bandwidth was being used already.
thats what I meant yeahUnless the club has put in provision for a separate system (very expensive) you won't get everyone connecting because the local mast will only be able to manage a certain number of connections (usually in the hundreds), it's not about the bandwidth, it's about being able to connect to the local mast. Like a Wi-Fi access point there is limit on how many connections it can manage.
that's for those connecting via SIM, and at Twickenham stadium (80,000) it's hard to connect, but at the Stoop over the road (14,000) no problem.Unless the club has put in provision for a separate system (very expensive) you won't get everyone connecting because the local mast will only be able to manage a certain number of connections (usually in the hundreds), it's not about the bandwidth, it's about being able to connect to the local mast.

Not sure I follow. Is this the 20 min thing when a player is sent off but can be replaced after 20mins?So if we are going to give RC for this (which I totally understand) then we really need the 20 minute rule thing
