They don't stop the clock any more...

Hmmm.. they have gone back to adding injury time rather than just stopping the clock whenever the ref said and playing to exactly 80 mins... Wasps are doing well!

Not sure why that is, but I prefer when they use the stop clock, and you know exactly how long is left.

I think it depends on whatever channel is showing the match. I know sky and Setanta don't stop the clock but BBC do.

you'll hear the ref say 'time off' anytime he talks to the players.

Yeah. it's funny. I think the Leinster Toulouse game lasted over 100 minutes, going by the clock, since there was so much stoppage.
