Just been trying to find the law reference for how to assign penalties for foul play.
Example:
Red 14 runs the ball into touch. Blue 15 attempts to gain ball for restart. Red 14 throws ball a long distance. Blue 1 (who else…) comes in and wrestles Red 14 to ground. Red 3 then comes in and...

TLDR;
- Abuse from RWC was in court in Brisbane, Australia for abuse against Referee Brian MacNiece in Eng v Samoa
- No conviction.
I was confused with our Australian implementation, and maybe the same thing is happening in the US.
Where I got confused was that in my understanding of the RFU version there is the possibility of a sanction again the ball carrier for 'late and low' but in Australia there is not.
HOWEVER, in...
Sydney Junior Gala Day 2 on Sunday.
4 x 25min halves with 7 different U14 teams. Only a 5min break between each half for me, so great start of season fitness!
26C and Sunny for the day- but an "East Coast Low" will bring lots of Rain this Thu, Fri and Sat - so who knows what condition the...
Sydney Junior Gala Day 1 on Sunday.
Entering my second season here and am again amazed at the scale of Junior club scene size.
2 glorious weeks of 2x half games per team against different opposition - to grade teams into their divisions for the season.
I know the player and team numbers are...

Our 7s Game Management briefing specifically called out hooker not being bound and to actively look for it - due to advantage in escaping the scrum quickly - so most likely coached….
100% right decision from you.
Pre-season Junior 7s comp for me this Sunday.
First time with sternum tackle height for everyone.
27C (80F) and probably humid so suspect I'll need some cold beers afterwards.
I wear glasses when I referee as well, but avoid transition lenses for the sun glasses confusion!
I never considered the eye injury danger, but will check that mine are polycarbonate - so thank you for the insight.
Cheers, thanks for confirming.
Then I believe that the ref has ruled that under 10.7.b.iv or 10.8 (depending on if the ref thought it was a charge down or a deliberate touch) that the players were immediately put onside and therefore had rights to ball and allowed play to continue.
Did the white player get a touch on the ball after red kicked it?
(Watched a couple of times but only on phone and couldn't confirm it but thought maybe I heard "touched" called - only plausible option for play on - 10.7.b.iv - not 10.8 as not 'charged down')
