2212 DC Law Application Guidelines - Effective 1 January 2023

We have issued this Law Application Guideline following the Shape of the Game conference a few weeks ago. It formally becomes operational in January.  This reminds all stakeholders of existing law in a variety of areas of the game which require focus as we head towards RWC23. We are obviously in the period of ‘no law changes’ before a tournament. That said, the operational feedback on the elite-end water carriers has warranted an amend to the Global Law Trial where water carriers will be allowed onto the field at tries going forward. Only if no tries are scored will a natural stoppage be used for water.  The wording is in the attached (Eng, SP, Fr) and will be reflected in all languages in our laws content from 3 Jan latest.
