I noticed that from somewhere around the middle of last season, top level refs had started standing in what I was always taught was the 'zipper' position at the back of the lineout - essentially looking down the gap. When I was last being regularly assessed in domestic matches this was considered a big no-no. It also seems to result in the referee's shoulders being east-west when a constant focus of the coaching I have received (and given!) in recent years has been maintaining a north-south body shape for breadth of view. I am sure this is a conscious change, the genesis of which I'd like to learn and pass on. Thanks!
