  • The controversial 20-minute red card is one of several law amendments which will be trialled in the upcoming men's and women's Six Nations Championship. It will be used in the competition for the first time after it was implemented in the Autumn Nations Series in November 2024.

The Six Nations Championship will introduce a new red card law in 2025, despite objections from Ireland and France. This law allows for a 20-minute red card, where the offending player is temporarily replaced, aiming to balance player safety with maintaining the game's competitiveness. The decision was made after a trial in Super Rugby Pacific, and although Ireland and France expressed concerns over the potential for increased risk-taking by teams, the Six Nations committee proceeded with the change. This move is part of a broader effort to address the impact of red cards on match outcomes and player welfare, with the hope that it will encourage safer play while keeping the game dynamic.
