The 2020 Super Rugby AU season (branded as Vodafone Super Rugby AU for sponsorship reasons) was a professional club rugby union tournament organised by Rugby Australia. Sponsored by communications company Vodafone, the tournament replaced the Australian component of the incomplete 2020 Super Rugby season that was shut down in March of that year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It featured the four teams from the 2020 Australian conference, with the addition of former Super Rugby franchise the Western Force.[1]

The tournament was the inaugural season of Super Rugby AU and ran from 3 July to 19 September 2020.[1]

Law adaptions[]

On 12 June, Rugby Australia announced seven law trials designed to make the game more entertaining for the fans and players.[2] The trials were adapted from the 10 optional law trials available for unions and competitions given by World Rugby in May 2020.[3] The following trials will be used during the competition:

Law trials Scenario
Goal line drop-out When an attacking player carrying the ball is held up in the in-goal or knocks the ball on play restarts with a goal line drop-out.
When a kick enters the in-goal area and is forced by the defending team play restarts with a goal line drop-out
Mark A kick originating in the attacking 22m area cannot be marked by the defending team within their own 22m area. The kick can however be marked within the defending team's in-goal area and play restarts with a 22m line drop-out.
Red card change A red carded player can be replaced after 20 minutes, unless all substitutions have been used.
50/22 A kick taken from within the defending team's 50m area that travels into touch within the opposition's 22m area having first bounced in the field of play results in a line-out throw to the kicking team. This does not apply following a free-kick.
22/50 A kick taken from within the defending team's 22m area that travels into touch within the opposition's 50m area having first bounced in the field of play results in a line-out throw to the kicking team. This does not apply following a free-kick.
Super Time 2 x 5min periods of extra time; in the event of a drawn game after regulation time where the first points scored wins the match for the scoring team
