By AFP More by this AuthorLONDONElite rugby union could see the introduction of orange cards after World Rugby on Thursday unveiled trials of 10 temporary optional laws to cut the risk of coronavirus infection. In rugby union, a yellow card leads to 10 minutes in the sin-bin with a red card seeing a player sent off. World Rugby estimated the changes could reduce scrum contact exposure by more than 30 percent. "We have extensively evaluated the perceived risk areas within the game," said World Rugby chairman Bill Beaumont. And the Welsh Rugby Union soon signalled their opposition by saying they had no plans to implement any of the law changes.
