    Eyes in the back of my head!

    Welcome back to the next question from the noob :chin: So this week I blew for an offense that I didn't actually see with my own eyes. The scum half passed from the base of the ruck, 1st receiver was a good 8-10 yards away and a defender tackled him so quickly there was absolutely no way he was...

    Release!

    I take notes, so when I had a lecture by the opposition HC over a call being wrong I calmly nodded wisely and scribbled. Anyway here's the scenario which isn't really specific to U11 NRoP; Red BC collides with Green player, green immediately starts to strip the ball and there's a bit of heave...

    Free Kicks

    Another Sunday and another question from the noob... I awarded a penalty to green who elected to kick to gain and then restarted with a FP to green from the point the ball went into touch. Now this was greeted with noises from the reds about "that's not how it works". Now we've been playing it...

    Rant

    Feel free to ignore this, it's more here for me to get off my chest!! :deadhorse::wtf: We played away yesterday and had a F*&&*&* awful experience with the ref. He was bad, wrong and dangerous is some many ways we can't even begin to count; wrong. KO went over the try line + dotted down, 5m...

    Quick restarts

    A question occurred to me whilst watching the Scotland vs NZ game recently and it's a slow day. The pundits were advocating that Scotland IIRC should have taken a quick restart and caught the Kiwis napping; the full regs seem to allow it by not disallowing it. The ref only needs to blow to start...

    High Tackles

    NRoP 7aiii says a high tackle is above the shoulder (which is the neck and up to us). 8a a tackle is arm pits and below. 14b Only contact below the armpit Now our collective interpretation from U9 has been above the armpit is a high tackle and under the NRoP that means a FP. However, my...

    Restart after injury

    I've had a good rummage but failed to find a definite answer and i know there will be somebody here who'll know the answer chapter and verse... During the usual end of training game and we had what appeared to be a clash of heads so I blew up immediately. It wasn't anywhere as nasty as it...
