The 20-minute red card and 50-22's are set to make their return as part of the new law variations for Super Rugby Pacific.

This will be included alongside the goal-line drop out, which was first trialled in Super Rugby AU, and variations to the golden point extra time.

The red card variation sees the offending players sent off the field for 20 minutes before being replaced to restore 15 on 15 players.

Meanwhile, the Golden Point extra time is a shift on the 'Golden Try' ruling used in 2021 with matches drawn at full-time to go into 10 minutes of extra time where the team to score first points will be awarded the win. If no points are scored in Golden Point, then the match is declared a draw.

The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua will play the Waratahs at 8:45pm this Friday in Sydney.

In other Super Rugby matches, the Chiefs will take on the Highlanders at 3.35pm Saturday, the Crusaders will play the Hurricanes at 6.05pm Saturday, the Reds will face the Rebels at 8.45pm Saturday and the Brumbies meet the Western Force at 3pm Sunday.
