Stoppage time

[Timbucktoo]

ball doesnt go out as play as much in rugby

i think in football the game is in play for 55 mins on average

so we’re looking at an extra 35 mins of game time

which no one wants

you would then need more subs or whatever as the players are suddenly going to playing substantially more football than they usually do

if op is hinting that the additional time favours the big clubs currently, then 35 mins of extra game time massively will

i think what they could is the additional time could have stoppage, so if ball is out of play you pause it then, to make up that full 6 mins or whatever

time wasting could also get more severe punishments if that is what we’re looking to stamp out. for example if you time waste on a goal kick it beckmes a corner, if its a throw in it becomes a throw to opposition etc

Its not about how much the ball is out of play for in rugby. The clock keeps ticking until the ref decides that there`s a good reason to stop the game for a TMO or for a player to get treatment or if he wants to have a word with the players over something. It takes the lottery out of how much time is to be played as instead of the ref pulling a random amount of time out of nowhere the stadium clock is showing everyone how much time there is left.
