1 incorrect Challenge per half can be used for tries only.
Bunker will only be used for challenged tries, will otherwise continue to be used in general play as it is currently.
On a side note, News incorrectly reported it as being introduced for the finals. That has been retracted.
How the Captain's Challenge will work:
Each captain will be allowed to challenge the referee's decision in relation to tries only.
The referee will be required to make a decision on the field and it will only be reviewed by the bunker if a challenge is made.
Each team will be allowed one incorrect challenge per half but there will be no limit on how many times a captain can contest a ruling by the match officials if he continues to be proven right.
An additional challenge will be allowed in the final 5 minutes of the game and in golden point.
- Can only be used to challenge a try or no-try ruling
- Captains will have 20 seconds following a try/no-try decision to challenge the decision.
- No replays either at normal speed or in slow motion, will be shown on a big screen at the ground until the time allowed for requesting of a captain's challenge has elapsed.
- A captain may request a review of any try/point-scoring decision made by an on-field official in relation to: groundings, knock-ons, obstruction, double movement, offside, touchline /touch-in-goal/dead-in-goal, tackle in the air, steals involving two or more defenders, foul play, as well as goals and field goals.
