South Africa's Varsity Cup competition, contested by the country's top rugby playing universities, is set to trial a 'new innovative rule' in next year's season.
The proposed Power Play system would allow the captains from each team to remove any two nominated backline players from the opposition for a three minute period.
The Power Play must be called while in their own half, can only be used once, and if the team whose players have been removed score a try within the three minute period they would be awarded two extra points (seven points before the conversion).
Chester Williams, former World Cup winner and coach at the University of Western Cape, has given the proposed new rule his full support.
"The new rule will be good for players, coaches and, most of all, spectators going into next year's competition, as it keeps the game fresh," Williams told the Telegraph.
