Apparently there going to raise the bench so its now 23 players picked with 2 props on the bench you'd think that will be a good thing for the likes of Wilks and Locks when it comes to getting an extra cap or two internationally.

Well it's bad news for Tom Court

They're testing out changing the scrum engage to: crouch, touch, set (which should speed things up a bit) and a 5 second limit on playing the ball out of a ruck (which will definitely speed things up, and hopefully lead to the retirement of prairie dogs like O'Leary).
