    [In-goal] Maul in goal

    Evening, Question here relating to a game I watched about a month back. London play-off final. Visitors have a line-out from a penalty, on the five metre line. Catch, drive. Trundle forward, over the try line. However, maul is completely upright the entire time, and never even vaguely comes...

    [Law] Recovering from Bad performancs

    Ok, been chewing this over for a few days. Had a game on Saturday - Surrey 4, last day of season - that was a try-fest, but I personally felt I had a rather sub-standard performance. No reasons or excuses for it - just had a game where I got muddled in my thinking, didn't really have control...

    [Law] Pitch Markings

    Hello, Happy New Year y'all. Right, today's "what on earth do I do here?" questions are related to pitch markings. I've had two games in consecutive weekends at the start of December with massively heavy pitches. Ones where you lose boots, players can't roll away, the ref is caked in mud etc...

    [Junior] Refereeing junior games and adult games

    Hello all, Am a new referee (started in March this year), and have only just discovered this forum. I'm sure I could ask about 1400 questions straight off the bat, but there's one that I have that is getting in my head. Aside from the actual law variations, how do other people generally...
