The 2020 Super Rugby AU season, branded as Vodafone Super Rugby AU,[1] was the inaugural season of Super Rugby AU, a professional Australian rugby union competition organised by Rugby Australia (RA).[2] 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.[2] The season ran from 3 July to 19 September 2020.[2]
The Brumbies won the inaugural title, defeating the Reds 28–23 in the Grand Final at Canberra Stadium.[3]
Law adaptions
On 12 June, Rugby Australia announced seven law trials designed to make the game more entertaining for the fans and players.[4] The trials were adapted from the 10 optional law trials available for unions and competitions given by World Rugby in May 2020.[5] The following trials were 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 |
