Off his feet too. That close to in goal I'm thinking yellow.
The best part if that video is the black 9 not having the slightest idea what to do.

It seems that too many referees in the top level get run over/tackled or in the way because of their position. i.e. Waiting in the tackle/gain line. What happen to being in the saddle position anymore?

Do you mean the chariot position?
Referees are discouraged from using that position because you can't see as much.

 

[Sifakea39]

Yes, chariot position if you're in England I guess.

Is that why?

Are we keeping track of how many times in a match the referees get in the way...or get cracked for being in the tackle/gain line?

If the ref is aware of players and potential running lines then he can ensure he gets out of the way. Saddle/Chariot is often used by very new refs, but it makes it hard to see offside lines, and to tell what is actually happening in the ruck - you get a very one sided view.

get into the neutral zone, between the two lines of back feet, but more toward the ball winning team, face 3/4 angle on to it - start off close in - locate the ball then move away from the ruck on the same line - watch for runners coming to use you as a shield.
