A quick guide to the new Premiership law changes

The season up north is well under way but some are still unclear on the new law changes being implemented in the Premiership (and elsewhere). Here is a quick video that explains the 4 main changes, which aim to speed up the game and improve player safety.

They are: Concussion Management, extended powers of the TMO, the Scrum Engagement, and the exciting new Ruck law, where teams have 5 seconds to use the ball once it’s available.

Premiership Rugby’s Rugby Director Phil Winstanley talks us through it, with comments from Harlequins’ Director of Rugby Conor O’Shea, and a few of the team captains share their thoughts.

– What are your thoughts on the changes so far? Let us know below
