Hi everyone! Thank you all for participating! Another media source has posted an article with some more information on this topic. The actual relevant bit starts about halfway through.

I'd imagine having the guards would have some performance penalty and so that might get factored in when teams are deciding whether to switch between full wets and inters - we might see teams switching to inters sooner.

From an entertaining and strategy perspective this might be really interesting.
