Our free kicks have gone up 2.9 last season to 5.8 this year.
But it hasn't come at the expense of number of scrums or number of line outs, which we think is a really, really great thing.
You know, the free kick around scrum time is tough, you know, I get that and, you know, we'll continue to look at that and think about that.
When we're now at sort of 89 minute match duration, we got ball in play getting up towards sort of 40 minutes.
You know, I think what we're going to do is get to a stage where we're redlining the players so much that we're actually, you know, increasing error rate, which then will give us
will give us more more static time as as we then go to stat so i think we are getting close to reading that reaching that net that sort of that point that red line point um you know i still i still get frustrated sometimes there's still a couple of seconds here and there with a
with a TMI review or let's get that scrum going or, but I think we are kind of reaching that.
So, you know, we are, we do have to think about, you know, what else around it, as you say, in stadium.
But I do also think we can look at innovation that's not necessarily law-based that, that might, you know, might help us continue to, to grow that, that excitement.
And, and, you know, you know, I'd be, I mean, I'm, I know your DMs guys get, get full of, of great ideas and,
you know i'd be really interested to hear you know what things we could we could add to arsenal there's there's things like um you know could you have a power play like you have in t20 to use your reference jib to go actually off this set piece we're going to double down and it's it's more points right now i know the traditionalists of rugby will go oh my god this bloke is a moron what is he talking about
But let's talk about those things.
Let's throw them up.
Maybe we don't trial them in super rugby, but maybe we trial them in another competition somewhere and see what we can do.
But, you know, rugby, you know, super rugby since its inception has driven innovation into the code.
It's part of our DNA.
We want to continue on that journey and continue to look at what we can do to take the code forward and make it more fan centric.
World Rugby's been nothing but supportive of what we've put up.
And then in the background, then supporting us with insight around what we've done and great discussion with the other leagues around the world and the other competitions around the world.
So they definitely, World Rugby are definitely adopting the fan centricity model and trying to get that more central to the decision making for the code as a whole.
