Looking to book a cheap holiday in January to somewhere with a beach and is warm (and cheap). Any suggestions? Current first place is Agadir in Morocco. Anyone been?

No clashes in Yorkshire this season!

Black have created a maul, with their 8 in possession at the back. Blue 4 has joined the maul legally and is still bound onto the maul. Black 9 picks the ball out of the maul and tries a box kick. Blue 4 unbinds just after this and charges said kick down. Decision?

RFU Level 7 league match. Away team coach comes to me and says: Where do we as referees stand on this? Today I replied and got an agreement between the two coaches before the game. They agreed on a 7 minute half time as the home team wanted to stay outside.

My friend and I are two fourth year medical students at Sheffield University looking to visit Australia for our elective in summer 2014. It is a 7 week placement between 2nd June and 18th July. We are pretty flexible with where we want to go but have provisionally looked at Melbourne, Brisbane...

So today I had my first game under the new scrum laws. Context was a very local derby; black (L7) vs. Blue (L8, relegated last season), with two teams known to have interesting disciplinary records. Final score was 7-0 to Black. What I found today was: - the players still try to make a hit -...

Anyone else watching this match? What do you reckon about the new scrum laws in action here?

I've got Stroud vs. Bristol Saracens on Saturday. Anyone done them or got any useful knowledge?

I've got Hitchin vs. Wasps Amateurs on Saturday. Any information?

Got the call from our appointments guy here in Yorkshire saying the original referee has had to cry off due to unexpected work commitments. I have been appointed to the level 7 fixture Woodford vs. Chelmsford in London 2 North East. Anyone got any advice? Looking at the distance separating it...

I'm off on exchange to Durham Society on 13th October to do Wallsend vs. North Shields (level 8). Anyone got any information?

I know this is very late to ask but I'm off to 'Leicestershire' tomorrow to referee Stamford vs. Deepings (L8). Any information?

League match. Yellow versus Black. Score 0-0. 29th minute of the first half. Careless high tackle by black 10 about 35 metres out from black's goal line. I'm wanting to YC the player. Yellow want to take a quick tap, make 30 metres and then I penalise them for obstruction. Play has now stopped...
