[New]: “must approve the equipment of the player prior to the restart of play 5.12.3.1.”

this change of rule erase the 5 minutes time out mechanical you could take when someone commited a foul into you, allowing you to change a wheel or whatever. its now up to the ref assessment to when the game will resume.
