Whilst looking at the clip in the below thread - I saw this... https://youtu.be/S7xBBPVgAB8?t=64 Even if time was up, I don't think I'd finish the match on that - and give the opposing team options. Would I be right?

The TJ in Bath/Sharks seems a tad aggressive towards the water-boy at 1:15:21 (45:32 game time). Hardly seems to be defusing the situation... https://www.premiershiprugby.com/watch/full-match-bath-rugby-v-sale-sharks-gallagher-premiership-round-7

https://www.premiershiprugby.com/watch/full-match-saracens-v-bristol-bears-gallagher-premiership-round-6 At 39:49 (game clock) - Tom Foley says "3 maul penalties, next maul penalty will go" At 40:23 - Is the next maul penalty, but advantage is played, and Sarecens score, as a result of which TF...

...after a yellow card, whilst England had a man off the field being subbed and water and physios were on the field. I’m not sure I would have allowed play to resume. Still will teach England to wake up....

A penalty or free-kick must be taken without delay. Any player from the non-offending team may take it, other than for a free-kick awarded for a mark. The kicker must use the ball that was in play unless the referee decides it is defective. The kicker may punt, drop-kick or place-kick (other...

Wondering if I got this right (and fearful it might be the old advantage by making ball dead chestnut) Yellow breaks this line, runs the length of the pitch and then in the act of trying to place the ball down in goal (under very little pressure) manages to catch it with his foot and...

Watching the Eng-SA game it looks like we have given up on any pretence of a straight feed. Some of the SA put-ins were direct to the back row (England may have been as bad but I didn’t notice).

I just received a bulk-lot of U11 law questions from one of my fellow U11 coaches. Thought I'd share here to see who agreed/disagreed with the answers I gave him. 1. At a free kick, or free pass oponents must be 7 metres back. If you tell them and they don't retreat the required distance or...

I quite frequently ref. age-grade rugby, and have the devil of a time remembering all the countless age-grade variations. I created this crib sheet to laminate & carry in my ref. wallet to use as quick pre-match aid-memorie. Sharing in the hope somebody else finds it useful...

Does anybody know if the RFU still make available the yellow ELRA tops? I never got one at the time, and don't really like wearing soc. kit (even last year's model) if I'm not independently appointed to the game.

https://www.rugbypass.com/news/world-rugby-to-trial-new-laws-that-could-fundamentally-change-how-the-tmo-is-used For me this is a step in completely the wrong direction, I think the on the run consultation of the TMO enhances the decision making, and allows play to flow.

https://www.rugbypass.com/news/watch-tongan-schoolboy-hurdles-australian-defender For me this is a PK to gold for dangerous play... Other views? (other than of course the Ref of the game in question - who clearly thought play-on)

I know there is some discussion in other threads - but I felt a dedicate thread was warranted... I think the current accetance of a player picking and going at the back of a ruck, immediately having 2 players pre-bind and driving pretty much directly to the floor is both illegal and also...

What do we think? https://out.reddit.com/t3_9g34xi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstreamable.com%2Fg79va&token=AQAA9k-dW8u4YJ94PEm1SjBRA2HhzS4Tbcb8wfmTV3LgtMz4iUal&app_name=mweb2x

I ref a mix of grassroots and youth rugby... When I do my boot inspection it is usual to have one or two studs that whilst not sharp, don’t confirm to Reg 12 (eg football studs not 1cm across at end). it seems overly officious to me to stop them taking part - and what I usually do is warn them...

Other than to offside lines are there any restrictions at scrum time as to where the scrum half who’s team ARE in possession may stand. ie could they move to position 10M away provided that they had one foot behind th ball?
