'Shot clock' to be introduced by World Rugby in January to speed up game
The 'shot clock' means players will have 90 seconds to take a conversion and a minute for penalties, or the kick will be disallowed.
New rules also state scrums have to be started within 30 seconds and line-outs formed without delay, with penalty kicks to be given for timewasting.A clock for kicks at goal is already in operation in France's Top 14. World Rugby's director of rugby, Phil Davies, said: "World Rugby, member unions and competitions will work with broadcasters and match hosts to implement on-screen shot clocks for penalties and conversions to ensure referees, players and fans can view the countdown, mirroring what happens in the LNR and sevens."
World Rugby hopes the changes will improve the flow of the game and reduce the reliance on Television Match Official reviews, which add to stoppages in the action."Only in a game with no tries, should a natural stoppage be used," added Davies.
