DRS for Rugby, when?

So watching more and more rugby games where the influence of the ref's and 3'rd umpires decisions can not be negated, the thought is just this: Why is there no DRS system for Rugby yet?

Surely this would not impose such a burden on the system?

At most it might extend the game a few minutes, but at least the chance of a fair decision is greatly increased.

This is working in cricket, and for once I just want to watch a game of rugby without having the eternal debate afterwards about ... "that ref !"

Thoughts?

I wouldn't mind. But the rate at which TMOs are also getting it wrong is worrying...

Well, take the Cheetahs game.....

TMO did not "give" the try and the ref over ruled him and gave the try.... So a DRS wouldn't help there at all.



I wouldn't like a DRS system in rugby. Leave it for cricket. Rugby is a fast pace game. Where with cricket, you have time to decide.
