The replay official won't signal during the play


The replay official will wait until the play ends to signal the referee that they need to review the play.

I believe they are doing it this way so that it won't take forever for the replay to be done. Ref stopping the play, ref goes over to sideline to review play, ref comes back and makes call. With this, ref either signals for a review/review comes down, replay official watches play and makes call. Much faster the new way.

Also, a lot of the pro rugby leagues in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa already do an replay like this. One of those leagues is made up of teams that play in AU, NZ, South Africa and Argentina. They don't have the ability to buzz the referee, but the referee asks for the replay, then the video referee makes the call and passes it on to the ref.

The video ref can also push a button to let the fans on TV and at the stadium know what the call is. Hopefully he pushes the right button.
