| | Sports Factor - 12 May 2006 - Changing the rules |
 | | In cricket it concerns the authority of umpires, in Australian Football, the flow and speed of the game, and in Rugby Union, what happens when a player gets tackled. |
 | | People will stand up and take notice and say, Well hang on a sec, Australian football is not a Third World footballing nation after all, they know what they're doing and they've got good players, and that'll be a good thing. |
 | | The authority of the field umpires is under threat just now, as proposed rule changes will make it possible for players to ask the match official, or third umpire, to overturn a decision. |
