A host of new law trials aimed at speeding up the game will be introduced at two Queensland Reds matches in Australia.

Test referees Nic Berry and Damon Murphy will take charge of games between the Queensland President’s XV and a Queensland Reds development squad on 9 and 15 October.

Included in the law trials are time limits on using the ball at a breakdown, forming a scrum, taking penalty kicks and throwing in at the lineouts. The changes have been introduced after a round table of Sanzaar referees flagged issues with ball-in-play time and the length of matches during Super Rugby.

* 60 seconds to take penalty kicks, 90 seconds for conversions, 30 seconds to restart after a conversionAll the above infringements result in a quick-tap penalty only, with no option to scrum.
