RFU REFEREE
REFEREE ASSESSMENT FORM 2
NAME OF REFEREE: P. Houghton LEVEL: 7 SOCIETY: Liverpool
MATCH TYPE: xxxxxxxxxx LEVEL: 7 DATE: 25.09.10
MATCH RESULT: White team 1 ( 25 pts) –v- Black/Amber 1 (24 pts)
1. CHALLENGE OF THE MATCH:
Game as close as the score indicates. Scoring pattern – 3-0, 3-7, 3-14, 3-19, 10-19, 15-19, 22-19, 25-19, 25-24 with the visitors narrowly failing to convert a try in the last minute. Plenty of open play on a firm surface. The play breakdown areas – tackle and ruck needed the closest attention throughout.
2. MATCH MANAGEMENT:
Control. A yellow card given against the visitors for a team offence on 2/22 caused 10 minutes of uncontested scrums, front row replacements having been used. No foul play but an apparently dangerous tackle was dealt with appropriately. 20 penalties were awarded for a variety of infringements. More should have been given for ruck offences, joining illegally and moving into and remaining in offside positions. Tackle area well refereed – emphasis rightly placed on immediate release with tacklers not impeding. Advantage always looked for thus enhancing the flow of the game. Scrums well managed – of the 23, no collapses and only 2 re-sets.
Communication. Strong whistle. Might have been clearer with signals e.g. I was unaware of the yellow card decision.
Dealt well with the dangerous tackle on 1/35. Immediately involved captains – both agreed that a warning rather than a card was appropriate.
Positioning. Good at scrum – varying as between open and blind sides. 24 line-outs – apart from 2 stood at front – must move about more in this phase of the game. At ruck rightly concentrated on the action surrounding the ball to the exclusion of monitoring position of non-participants – several instances of mid-field creep not picked up.
Fitness. This was a fast game and there were occasions when he was marginally late at the breakdown.
. PLEASE ASSESS THE REFEREE’S MATCH MANAGEMENT USING THE CRITERIA MD
3. THE REFEREE’S POTENTIAL
Level 7 performance. Needs more similarly testing games at this level to determine his ability to progress.

4. KEY COMPONENTS
AREAS TO DEVELOP
Line-out. Important to vary position on an irregular basis. Also to be mobile immediately the throw-in has taken place. Position of non-participants must be monitored.
Ruck. Players must not be allowed to join other than from the rear, nor must they be allowed to move into and remain in offside positions. Important to monitor position of non-participants.
REFEREE’S STRENGTHS
.Advantage. Particularly well refereed- signalling as necessary and verbally distinguishing as between scrum and penalty advantage.
Tackle. Consistent in insisting on immediate release by tackler and correct application of law by tacklers.
