Hopefully 12 months from now we'll be reflecting a successful World Cup, and if it goes ahead I'll be drinking it in, and hopefully seeing some fellow OTFers along the way.
The NRL has announced a number of rule changes, and where the NRL goes the rest tends to follow, so look out for these developments on the horizon:

The NRL has announced a number of rule changes, and where the NRL goes the rest tends to follow, so look out for these developments on the horizon:
- the introduction of a two-point field goal for kicks taken from more than 40 metres out;
- six-again to be called for 10-metre infringements;
- penalties for teams if they leave a scrum before a referee calls "break";
- a play-the-ball restart if the ball or player with the ball goes over the sideline;
- The Bunker will now review replays after an on-field referee awards a try but a conversion attempt will not be allowed until it gets the green light;
- injured players will be interchanged if a trainer ask for play to be stopped;
- when a captain's challenge is inconclusive a team will not be docked for an unsuccessful attempt;
- and a handover will be ordered when a player does not make a genuine attempt to play the ball correctly with their foot.
Beyond that, f*** knows what's going on.
