Two law innovations trialled in Super Rugby AU and Aotearoa are set to continue into the Harvey Norman Super Rugby Trans-Tasman series after an agreement by Rugby Australia and New Zealand Rugby.
Goal line drop-outs and replacements for red-carded players after 20 minutes will be the two law innovations carried into the Trans-Tasman series.
Along with this, the competitions final on June 19th will be under the same extra-time protocols as the recent Harvey Norman Super Rugby AU Final between the Reds and Brumbies.
Laws surrounding the 50/22 kick and the captain's challenge will not be played as they look to increase the speed of the game.

All five Australian teams will face the five New Zealand teams across the next five weeks of competition.
The ladders from Super Rugby AU and Aotearoa will be reset, with the two most successful teams battling it out in the Final.
Teams will also share the points for tied matches during the round-robin stage.
