So an interesting discussion point perhaps ..calling the referee Sir. .outdated anachronism? Or part if the values of rugby that we should uphold ?
Playing in NZ in 1992, in a pre season meeting with a ref etc that ref said "Don't call us Sir!"
that was a quarter of a century ago.

2 University sides ... a bit of fun.
For many of the players the most important game they will ever play in
Sure but its still a university game. Asking the water boy what's in the drink would be de rigueur, I would have thought.
