8th Edition Rule Update - Interchange

If a player intercepts the ball, NO interchanges are allowed until try is scored or a touch is made.
If interchange occurs and attacking player is impeded by defender whilst attempting to score, typically a penalty try is awarded and player is sin binned.
If interchange occurs and no impact on try or attacker sin bin for interchanging player still occurs.

8th Edition Rule Update - Drop Off

Key Points:
4 on 4 straight up
If you defend at the start of the game you tap first in the drop off (ie whoever taps first in the 2nd half taps off in the drop off)
Play continues in the same direction as the end of the game
Starts as 2 mins extra time
After 2 mins, the team leading is the winner of the game
If it is drawn at 2 mins, drop to 3 on 3 and game commences from same touch count and next to score wins
