I found it ironic that not 7 days previously Christian Horner accused the stewards and Masi of making things up "on the fly", and yet he is happy to accept the decision "on the fly" to permit some cars to unlap themselves and for the safety car to come in before they have joined the back of the...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/52522728 Now that Bill Beaumont has been re-elected as the head of WR for the next 4-years I was disappointed that this interview made no mention of the constant Law tinkering. On the plus side he is promising to focus more on the 'Tier 2' nations to...

Interesting scenario this past weekend. L7 League match. Pre match preamble with the coaches all going well, team talks done and I'm just getting down to my own warm up routine. Away Coach approaches me and says "Ref, this session if the changing rooms are close we go in at half-time." I...

Interesting comment from my Match Development Official (Assessor) in last weekend's match. I showed a YC to the Black #16 for a repeated team offence - it was their 7th penalty infringement of the match and the clock was at 27 minutes of the 1st half. I had previously spoken to the captain...

Any of my fellows seen this? https://www.rugbydump.com/news/player-charged-with-assault-and-facing-life-ban-after-punching-referee-in-club-rugby-match?fbclid=IwAR1JWBYWrfomycHDHz4HparBlE1DqouU56xWgm5L-QzlejXXFLTMSFRl7rA Quite shocking behaviour and one hopes that the referee is receiving all...

Has anyone else had this? http://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/GlobalLaws/?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Law+Trials+Survey+-+Have+your+say%21&utm_campaign=Have+your+say+-+World+Rugby+Global+Law+Trials+UK+Residents+Midlands It would appear that WR may be looking to put them all...

Indeed, Happy Festive Greeting to all. may you have what you desire and enjoy happy times.

Just putting this one out there to get some other view points. Had an incident on Saturday that is still causing me to "hum and hah" and wonder if I did the right thing. Some background to the match. 10 PK in the 1st half and one YC (issued to Gold 5 for pulling down a maul on the 5m line at...

Not sure if anyone else saw this? Watching the game and the Dragons have 2 LH props YC due to scrum infringements, virtually within 2 minutes of each other! The referee Marius Mitrea - at the next scrum - tells the players uncontested scrums as one would. He then goes on to explain that he...

My esteemed fellows, I have been asked to present about Ruck & Maul at our upcoming pre-season conference and am in the process of re-drafting the presentation as given to me. I want to include some clips of Rucks & Mauls (non premiership/International) to re-inforce points to be made and as a...

I have a spare ticket to the Slash featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators at Wembley on Tuesday night night (2nd December). Anyone interested in taking advantage please PM me.

Anybody else seen this on the BBC website? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-25505385 I hope that their Chairman and committee can make it pay.

Interesting article from Mike Blair. Whilst I agree with some of what he says there is much about which to debate. Any thoughts? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/25435357

Sorry to ask this; but is there anybody on here who is in Personnel and or who deals with the Legal side of it? Need some advice. Perhaps if you PM me we can chat? Thanks friends.
