LONDON (Reuters) - New smart ball technology will be trialled at next month's Under-20 Rugby World Championship to help officials rule on tries, ball in touch, lineout trajectory and forward passes.
World Rugby is working with analytics company Sportable and equipment manufacturer Gilbert at the event in South Africa to "explore how the emergence of new technology and artificial intelligence can help shape the future of the sport, aid the flow of the game and take fan experience to the next level."
