This was the only consecutive hand-pass violation in tonight's game: UCD 9-19 Trinity College 1-9.
It was very one-sided but here are some early takeaways on the trial rules:
🤜 Limit on hand-passes had the desired impact of producing a game with significantly more kicking.
1/2
Continued: Players were coaching each other (counting hand-passes). Several lovely early long kick-passes inside led to scores.
🏐 Pattern of play in the game remained largely similar to the old rules, only any lateral build-up play simply involved more kick-passes.
2/3
