Hello, wonder if anyone can help Without getting into major details here, I have had a fairly serious falling out with the WRU and no longer wish to officiate for them, but I am loathe to give up the game, so how would I go about registering as a Referee with RFU? I know there would be more...

Anyone had experience of being AR3 for any games?? I assume that duites for this role are Subs, timing and logging Sin Binnings? Keeping everyone within the technical area etc Is this correct? Anything else?? Thanks

Game last night, Youth Cup Quarter Final, Away team too strong (Blue) and were well in front when this incident occured. Ball knocked on into in-goal by Blue, the Yellow scrum half recovers the ball but is under pressure from Blue 2nd Row, so I blow the whistle for the scrum, as there is no...

Game on Wednesday, black put it at scrum, they healed the ball and as it got to No.8, Red go a shove on and started moving black backwards, and the ball was nearly back at the hooker when the No.8 for black detatched and reached into the scrum and grabbed possession of the ball...

Ok, bare with me on this if i has been discussed, but she who must be obeyed has potentially landed a job in Oxford, which would mean a move over to there from Cardiff I am a Level 3 WRU Referee, which allows me to Referee Division 4 & 5 matches in the Welsh Leagues (leagues go from Premier to...

Had a scenario last night that I'm sure I handled correctly but just wanted to see if everyone agrees Red kick ball from own 22 and it travels 40+ meters but still about 2-3 meters from touchline, Blue player positioned himself to take the ball, when a replaced player from Red stood 1/2 a meter...

Apologies if this has been asked before. Semi Final last night, Penalty awarded and kick at goal indicated to me, The kicker is kicking into a very strong headwind, he slices the kick and it ends up in touch! Decision? I gave a line out to kickers team, but not actually sure that correct...

Another incident from a game on Saturday that has made me think twice! Ball passed out to Winger who fails to gather properly, it bounces of his hands into the air and he runs onto it 3 or so yards further on and catches it cleanly That is a Knock on isn't it? He had no control of the ball...

Had an incident at a game on Saturday that I gave a penalty for, but for some reason it is bothering me and would just like someone here to agree with my decision (hopefully)!! Ruck formed, s/h picks up ball and goes to pass when an opposition player who is onside, knocks the ball out of his...

This game was shown live on Welsh TV, so not many on here would have seen it, as it contained one of the most bizarre and controversial decisions I have ever seen. 30 seconds left, Connaught winning 17-15 and have a 22 Drop Out, passed from player to player and Referee says 'come on guys'. The...

Many apologies if this has been discussed before, but I was watching `Le Rygbi' (a Welsh programmes covering the French Domestic Rugby), when I noticed something `new'!! It appears that they have FIVE Officials on the pitch for each game, 1 Referee, 2 Touch Judges and 2 In Goal Officials, who...

Lions Predictathon: Game 1 vs Bay of Plenty Are we doing one chaps?? :confused: :)

After a bit of guidance for a situation I had last night that I wasn't sure how to deal with. The game was only a friendly (even though it wasn't very friendly!!) but into second half, a defending player retreating back said to me something along the lines that I was a cheat and wanted the...

Did I imagine it, or was the France Centre (I think) wearing his wedding ring during the game on Saturday?? Against Law 4.4 (d) Reverse the result I say!!
