#4. Reduce replacements

The former England hooker believes teams, such as world champions South Africa, loading their bench with forwards should be a watershed moment for how replacements are dealt with in rugby.

Moore said: “If we cannot agree to go back to only injury-related substitutions, at least drastically reduce the number of substitutions.

“The trend towards picking benches dominated by forwards is only going to grow, limiting fatigue from which attacking space becomes available.

“This is without considering the fact that it would make club squads smaller and possibly solvent. Wouldn’t that be a good thing after 2023?”
