The International Rugby Board (IRB) have officially approved a global trial of the Experimental Law Variations (ELVs) for a 12-month period starting on August 1. The trial at all levels of the game will involve 13 of the 23 ELVs that have been undergoing experimentation in specific tournaments around the world over the last two years.

Ireland also knew all they could do at that stage was to go out and try to salvage some pride.
