MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Australia and New Zealand have agreed to retain replacements for red-carded players and goal-line drop-outs in the Super Rugby Trans-Tasman competition after trialling the rule innovations in domestic seasons, organisers said on Monday.

Goal-line drop-outs, introduced in Australia's Super Rugby AU competition last year, replace the conventional 22 metre drop-out after an attacking player is held up or knocks the ball on in the in-goal area.
