How do the sin bin and sending off work?

Temporary suspension (sin bin):

• It lasts ten minutes of playing time. It starts when the referee signals time-on or play recommences, and it is paused whenever the referee signals time-off.
• It does not include the half-time break. It stops at the end of the first half and resumes at the start of the second.
• If more than one player is sin binned from the one incident, their suspensions are equal and they return together.
• You re-enter from an onside position after reporting to the Interchange Official and Touch Judge.

Permanent dismissal (sent off): you must go straight to your team's dressing room and stay there until you have changed out of your playing uniform. You cannot return to the players' bench unless it is outside the area bounded by the fence around the playing area.
