I am completely new to streaming sport. Might be a silly question, but I am a tech retard, are the games going to be available on Stan to watch later? Often I am working during the game and can't watch live. Surely they will be archived?

@Crazy-Horse Yes, they can be watched at any time.

@Crazy-Horse that's my understanding, some will be live to air and potentially simulcast on 9, others (probably NZ games) will be on demand

Sounds naff
FFS, I hate this shit. How about they work on getting the TMO to not fuck up clear decisions. Referring them more things to get wrong is not going to improve the game.
Not sure how allowing the defending team to kick the ball away after the attacking team has been held up over try line is going to promote attacking play.
But hey, lets go all out like the BBL and introduce power plays and power surges and mega awesome lightning periods where tries are worth 100 and fans can vote on removing the boots of an opposition player for 10mins.

im going to have to read this now, I thought it was only if the defending team touches it down in goal, ie instead of a 22 drop out its a goal line drop out

No, looks like being held up over the line is no longer a scrum with the held up team feeding. It is a boot downfield by the defenders. Stupid.

From the NZR media release:
A goal line drop-out will occur when an attacking player carrying the ball is held up in the in-goal or knocks the ball on in the in-goal area, or when an attacking kick, other than a penalty or drop goal attempt, is grounded by the defending team in their in-goal area.The rationale for introducing the goal line drop-out was to reward attacking teams by allowing them to build pressure and to encourage defending teams to clear the ball from their in-goal area, Anthony said. “We’ve had great support for this innovation from coaches and players and we’re confident it will be popular with fans. “The current re-start rule of a 22-metre drop-out often pushes the receiving team well back into their own half and we think teams will be more likely to counter-attack from a goal line drop-out, which will in turn lead to more attacking pressure and hopefully more tries.” -
@pukunui don't like that
how about if a defending team carries it back?
@Kiwiwomble said in 'Super Rugby' 2021:

5m attacking scrum

@Kiap which seems even stupid...er, if theyre not getting rid of those attacking scrums all together or something
-
I look at it as 'who should get the award, and how much ...'
A defender forced to carry back and ground in their own in-goal ... well, I'm not gonna say they stuffed up, but they've certainly conceded. It's like tapping out in martial arts; you've lost the contest.
It's a no-brainer that this is a 5m attacking scrum.
The contest loser doesn't get the reward. It would be wrong to allow a drop-out in that instance because it would benefit the loser by advancing play 20-30 metres upfield.
