Many a time when playing in Victoria and WA I have see both captains agree to start a game early, even with an umpire.
If 11 from each side are there early all someone needs to say is 'let's get this going so we can finish early and get in a beer or two before 6 o'clock' and by almost unanimous...
Team captains are responsible for policing it and both cannot let a game go on if players don't comply.
If caught not enforcing it, I believe suspensions will be handed out to both captains.
I haven't worn a helmet in 15 years but have to go buy one now at the age of 45 - even if I am a number 11 who just walks out and delivers a few wild woofs before gifting a skier to the keeper or mid on.
Sport shops are going to get a nice little spike in revenue between now and November.
