AUSTRALIAN outfit Western Force are hoping to “revolutionise the way rugby is played” after closed law trials were approved for all of their home matches in the World Rugby Series.

Following a request from Rugby Australia, World Rugby have allowed the use of rules designed to increase the pace of the game and generate extra excitement starting with tomorrow’s clash with Fiji Warriors in Perth.

Among the changes is the allocation of seven points every time a “power try” is scored — a touchdown launched from inside the attacking team’s 22 with no break in continuity.
