At request of the referee in open play, and for goals.
Also maybe give each team 3 requests per game sumfink like that.
Rugby has video evidence and it has little effect on the flow of the game.
Something has to be done about hoooge games being decided by blatant cheating.
Those talking about the flow.
The flow of football is broken up all the time by numerous incidents, if it was just used for goals, which I think is an acceptable implementation, then you have a natural total stop in momentum then anyway.
As for it escalating beyond that, I think that is a false concern, people have wanted video tech/ other tech/changes for ages and it still is not in place, yes if they do bring in a bit some will want more, but on the evidence so far there is no reason to suspect they will be listened to.
I hope they bring a change of some kind, then Henry's goal will always be associated with it.
A new rule that would be nicknamed Henry's Law would be awesome.
20 years from now:
Dad why do they call it Henry's Law?
Well Son there was this cheating Frenchman etc etc etc.
