It's only for 2 mins and it doesn't seem to interrupt the game very much.

It's just a CYA attempt for weak referees who wouldn't show a straight red for a decapitation with a ninja sword. I do like the idea that players who leave the field due to injury cannot return to play for 5 minutes. That's something these secretive bastards should consider next year.

I actually have a habit of heading to the toilet, watching the Teletext at half-time and sometimes I realised there is not enough time for me. Because there are times I did missed the opening minutes of the second-half of a match. It makes worse when a goal is scored at that time and I wondered who had scored. Given I do not watch much rugby (the rugby I watched was during the Rugby World Cup last year!), I will have to say I like what you said about No. 2,3 and 4, Daryl. ‘This would work for me because I always seem to miss second half kickoff while cuing for a drink.’

The first rule... sounds a bit difficult to work with but I wouldn't mind that either. The thing they need to fix is when a player goes down during play and the opposing team has the ball. They shouldn't be required to stop play and the "injured" player's team should be prevented from asking for play to stop. It's ridiculous how many attacks that strategy has prevented/stopped. The heal bin idea is good but even if that were put into the game it is still better for the "injured" player to force the game to stop because his team just needs to build a bus until the "injured" player is allowed back into the field.

Hurt bad enough to need medical attention? Spend 5 minutes on the side of the pitch. I think it would certainly keep the Nani's of the footballing world from slowing the game down, at least to some extent. I’d rather see the sin bin used as a deterrent for people faking injuries.
