Something for the dazzlers...

This will include no lifting permitted in the lineouts, four point tries and half-time intervals lasting just five minutes (with the teams staying on the rugby field for the duration of this break). Furthermore, teams will actually be allowed to ruck man and ball properly, immediately solving the thorny issue of modern teams lying all over the ball and killing it without any real consequence.

Other ideas proposed include:

Pitch invasions allowed not only after games, but also after tries. Fans will be asked, however, to invade the field in 'respectful numbers and leave moments later'.
Northern hemisphere sides to play without any Kiwis, Australians or South Africans in their squad.
Fans encouraged to wear flat caps, scarves and rosettes in team colours rather than wearing replica jerseys.
No ground to have more than one Ladies' toilet facility on offer for spectators.
20% of all playing squads to have genuine mullet hairstyles.
All teams to increase quota of chubby wingers.
Fans to bring more hip flasks to games.
BBC to revert to old fashioned broadcast techniques similar to 1980s in which they show the match live without missing every other play due to replays/crowd shots.
Hospitality and corporate attendees asked not to attend matches and do something they actually care about instead and leave real rugby fans alone.
Abolition of the Magners League and replacement with competition fans of Ireland, Scotland and Wales care about.
Matchday programmes to be similar to the 1980s and small enough to actually fit in a fan's coat pocket.
New Zealand to win a World Cup.

Perfect rugby as it's meant to be played they could also add a prop in the centre and a half time pint
