RUGBY is set to introduce a second red card as part of a never-before-seen rule.
The new card will be trialled in the 2024 Autumn National Series.
There will be a big difference between the new red card and the pre-existing one.
The referee will still be able to dish out red cards that will remove players for the rest of the game and leave a team a man down.
However, the new red will give them the option to send a player off for 20 minutes.
Once the time period is over, the offending team can send on a replacement player.
The permanent red card would be used for foul play deemed to be “deliberate and dangerous”.
But with “technical offices” then the 20 minute red card can be used.
World Rugby are believed to be planning a meeting next month in which the new card will be discussed.
Sky Sports have claimed that the governing body could make it the only red card “available to referees”.

The Irish Rugby Football Union and the French Rugby Federation have both come out against the permanent usuage of the new card.
However, it is said that they are happy for it to be used in the Autumn Nations Series.
An IRFU statement read: “The IRFU does not support the permanent adoption of a 20-minute red card.
“Player welfare and safety are paramount to the core values of the game, and the option of a permanent red card for deliberate and intentional acts of foul play supports those values and protects the integrity of the game.
“The IRFU welcomes the variation to World Rugby‘s closed law trial, which will be adopted in the upcoming Autumn Nations Series.”
The FRF claimed that the permanent inclusion of the 20-minute red card would be “unacceptable and backwards”.
Chief of rugby at Six Nations Rugby Julie Paterson, however, defended the trial.
She said: “No trial or subsequent change is considered without utter confidence that player safety and welfare is front and centre.
“First and foremost, we need to look after the players and their interests, and the trials we have opted to use this November deliver on this commitment.”

SET in the 80s, Rivals promised to bring saucy fun to Disney+ and it has certainly delivered.
The sexy series, which stars David Tennant, has finally dropped and everyone is talking about that opening scene.
The show is based off of Jilly Cooper’s book of the same name, which explores the racy, secret lives of Britain’s aristocrats.
So what really happened in that scandalous opening scene?
It’s fair to say that Rivals starts with a bang.
The opening episode of the first ever series starts with a group of passengers in the 1980s on board the famous Concorde.
Viewers are quickly then moved on to a couple joining the mile high club in the toilet.
Fans are greeted with a shot of leading character Rupert Campbell-Black’s naked behind as he ravishes a woman on board the famous fast aeroplane.
Whilst things heat up in the toilet, Robert Palmer’s Addicted to Love is played in the background.
The saucy moment sees an air hostess continuously knock on the door, but Rupert and his lover continue to romp.
After they are done, they leave the toilet and walk off as if nothing has happened.
Alex shot to fame with the Prime Video drama The Boys, alongside several stage roles with The Royal Shakespeare Company.
He will be playing Rupert Campbell-Black, the Tory MP for Rutshire and a retired Olympic show-jumper.
Rupert’s battle for control of the media empire Corinium Television with David Tennant’s character forms the basis of the show.
Fans of David’s whimsical role in Doctor Who might be in for a shock, as he plays the single-minded Lord Tony Baddingham.
He is one of the titular rivals and wants to expand his Corinium Television empire, much to the annoyance of Alex’s character Rupert.
The Scottish actor has been known for villainous roles in the past, but none have been so hilariously wicked as Lord Tony Baddingham.
Aiden charmed the country when he played British army veteran Ross Poldark in the hit BBC series.
In Rivals, he plays the fiercely tempered Declan O’Hara who had recently joined Corinium TV before the show.
However, when Lord Tony refuses to deliver on his promises, the star journalist gets dragged into the bitter feud at the core of the series.
Katherine has had a varied career on screen, from the hilarious Jen Barber on The IT Crowd to fiercely protective lawyer and mum-of-two on Channel 4’s Humans.
In Rivals, she plays acid-tongued Lizzie Vereker who struggles to balance her mischievous side with her loyalty to her friends.
It’s another hilarious role for the comedic actress, who is known for her side-splitting jokes in a deadpan style.
Danny might not be the first actor that you would think might star in a TV show about aristocrats, but he’ll be paying Freddie Jones on Jilly Cooper’s new show.
Freddie is a new-moneyed cockney who has a larger-than-life persona.
He has been described as a character that will stir-the-pot, just like his hilarious EastEnders character Mick Carter.
Claire is best known for her role as Roxanne in the film Secrets and Lies and her role as Linda Earl-Bouchtat in My Mad Fat Diary.
Her character in Rivals is Lady Monica Baddingham, the high-society loving wife of David Tennant’s character.
Monica is said to be very loyal to her husband, even when he is scheming against his rivals.
Fans of the Channel 4 drama Skins will be thrilled to see yet another actor from the hit show make a return, after Kaya Scodelario’s return to the small screen with The Gentlemen.
Luke Pasqualino will play Lord Tony Baddingham’s brother, who owns a bar decorated in a true 1980s-sleaze style.
He loves a game of polo and is just as scheming as the rest of the show’s cast.
There are more iconic British actors making appearances in Rivals, including Emily Atack as the sassy Sarah Strutton and Lisa McGrillis as the no-nonsense Valerie Jones.
Oliver Chris will play Katherine Parker’s bumbling partner James Vereker, alongside Nafessa Williams who will play ambitious entrepreneur Cameron Cook.
Victoria Smurfit will play the vain former actress Maud O’Hara and Bella Maclean will be playing her daughter Taggie O’Hara.
Rivals dropped on Disney+ on October 18, 2024, much to the delight of fans.
The eight-part reworking of Jilly Cooper’s novel has already impressed bosses at the streaming giant, and a second series is a possibility.
A TV insider said: “The feeling is that there is still so much more in the story that could easily be made into a sequel.
“Disney+ appear to be on board, even though they haven’t announced an official commission yet.
“Bosses at the streamer can see there is a huge amount of anticipation for this show, and having seen the episodes, they know it won’t disappoint”
THIS is the terrifying moment kids were left dangling in the air upside down for 15 minutes as a carnival ride malfunctioned and parents watched on in horror.
Panicked mom Ally Metzger was at the Arkansas State Fair in Little Rock with her two kids, aged 8 and 11, when the shock incident took place.
Footage that Ally shared to Facebook shows the kids stuck aboard the 16-seater rotating X-Drive ride after it suddenly halted to a stop.
Her children are seen trapped at the very top of the ride while amusement park staff tirelessly push the lower seats up manually to get it spinning.
They effectively propel the ride and it continues to function as usual, no longer leaving Ally’s kids stranded several feet off the ground mid-air.
In her Facebook clip she said: “They’re trying to get my kids down, they’ve been stuck upside down for 15 minutes at least.”
She told local broadcaster KATV: “There’s a bunch of people trying to get the ride to spin, and they would get it almost halfway down.
“Then it would go right back up to the very top, with my kids still upside down. So, I’m panicking. My partner’s panicking.”
Her 11-year-old daughter said she doesn’t remember much from her frightening time in air.
“She told me when she came home that she only remembered crying, and then, like, just got dizzy.
“Her legs were hurting, I guess because the circulation was out.”
And it wasn’t just Ally’s kids that were stranded up there – two other kids were also caught up in the ride’s malfunction but it’s not clear if they were injured.
A furious Ally told Facebook that she demanded a refund and filled out a complaints form.
She was not happy with one ride attendant who allegedly told her to “calm down” as it had “only been four and a half minutes”.
Ally also claimed the employee told her and her partner she was “making it worse” by panicking.
But the mom praised one member of staff for providing her with a refund and “making sure my babies were okay”.
She said her family’s weekend plans were disrupted following the incident.
Scooter Korek, Vice President of North American Midway Entertainment Services, blames a technical fault for the incident.
He said: “The right computer received a fault. What it does is when it finds something that it doesn’t like, it shuts it down.
“So, the ride was in the air, not in its landing position, for about 10-12 minutes.”
Scooter said that when the ride malfunctioned on Saturday, staff evacuated all riders in line with safety guidance.
Scooter, whose company is responsible for managing the ride at the Arkansas State Fair, reassured the public: “Any of my family members can go on any of our rides any day.
“That’s how good I feel about our programs, our safety programs, and the people who work for us to operate and take care of these rides.”
ANNA Kendrick burst onto the scene with her iconic role in teen vampire romp Twilight.
The multi-talented star has just finished directing her first film Woman of the Hour — here’s everything you need to know about her.
Anna Kendrick is an American actress, singer and director.
She has become one of Hollywood‘s most versatile and talented performers.
Anna was born in Portland, Maine on August 9, 1985.
She began her career as a child actress on Broadway before transitioning to film and television.
Anna’s breakthrough role came in 2008 with the fantasy romance Twilight — she played Jessica Stanley, a friend of the protagonist Bella Swan.
The role catapulted her into the spotlight and led to her appearing in the subsequent films in the saga.
Her career reached new heights with her performance in Jason Reitman’s Up in the Air (2009), starring alongside George Clooney.
Anna’s portrayal of an ambitious college graduate earned her widespread critical acclaim and nominations for several prestigious awards, including the Academy Award for best supporting actress.
One of her most iconic roles came in 2012 with the musical comedy Pitch Perfect.
Anna played Beca Mitchell, a rebellious college student who joins an all-girl A cappella group.
The film’s success spawned two sequels, cementing her status as a leading lady in Hollywood.
Her other notable movie appearances include Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010), 50/50 (2011), Alice Darling (2022) and Into the Woods (2014), where she showcased her singing talents as Cinderella.
Anna has also lent her voice to animated features, most notably as Poppy in the Trolls franchise.
In 2023, Anna made her directorial debut with Woman of the Hour, a film based on the true story of serial killer Rodney Alcala‘s appearance on The Dating Game in 1978.
Anna not only directed the film, but also stars as Cheryl Bradshaw, who narrowly avoided becoming one of Alcala’s victims.
The film explores the chilling encounter between Cheryl and Alcala on the set of The Dating Game.
Unbeknownst to the producers and contestants, Alcala was in the midst of a killing spree when he appeared on the dating show.
As a first-time director, Anna approached the subject matter with sensitivity, avoiding explicit depictions of violence while still conveying the gravity of the situation.
Speaking of her uncompromising directorial style, Anna told Digital Spy: “I was frankly shocked with myself for being so firm.
“I think I said something along the lines of, ‘If it’s really important to you guys that the movie open in a nightclub and have a certain feeling, that’s fine, but I don’t know how to make that movie’.”
