“A challenge may be initiated after the referee blows his whistle to stop play, rather than only after a decision resulting in a structured restart.” Refereeing calls regarding ruck speed and completed tackles will be condensed to limit defenders from slowing down the play-the-ball, with the previous calls of “held” and “release” now combined into one call, after which a tackler must make a clear effort to leave the ruck.
