It’s time to get familiar with the upcoming Global Law Trials!
The new Global Law Trials apply to Rugby competitions beginning on or after August 1st, 2021.
What are the new Global Law Trials?
World Rugby recently announced several welfare-focused initiatives within a package of law amendments.
The amendments are designed to help reduce injuries at all levels of the game, from grassroots to international Test Rugby. Player welfare and safety is the most important thing.
The law amendments will be trialled globally in competitions that start on or after August 1, 2021.
You can read more about the initiatives on the World Rugby website.
What Do I Need To Know?
BC Rugby’s Rugby Development Officer Chris Assmus has produced a handy presentation and selection of videos to help simplify the Global Law Trials.
These materials help define and explain changes to the 50:22, Goal-Line Drop Out, Flying Wedge/Latch, and Safety of the Jackler.
