If so, she would know that HIA only apply in elite rugby . I think she had done training on recognising symptom of concussion .. which is not the...

In all seriousness, find out where they are so you can use it. Locate your changing room and the teams' When I was in the UK, if the teams were...

There is a Coach in our area who has never forgiven me for not allowing his HIA in a D2 Men's College match - so, broadly Level 10 in English speak....

But it was Macclesfield - is it their year yet. I forgot they left the picture under 20: penalty and move the requirement to 8: scoring. That...

I agree. Normally the next ref just starts pacing agitatedly on the sideline shooting you looks. The guys who do private school First XV games...

Seems to me that you DID indicate your intention to kick at goal in 'heeling and placing'!

Maybe she WAS qualified to do a HIA!

Agreed. I had a physio tell me, definitively, that she was qualified to perform HIA and was taking a player off to perform one. She was certain...

I'd love to be in a game where HIA was in place as that would mean that I've reached (in England) Level 2 from my current Level 11! As has been...

Many years ago in a 7s tournament having been awarded a penalty near the touchline on the 25 (yes it was that long ago) I dug my heel into the...

Same for an incorrectly taken tap penalty?

...but the place kick to touch IS explicitly (if inelegantly) covered by law. If you choose to apply Law 19, it says:- The referee awards a...

The law book specifies the restart for anything not explicitly covered in law. It's a scrum.

We don't have this issue in the USA, no changing rooms makes things simple, also less time constraints here as there will usually only be 2 matches...

The ball was not dead, there is time for a lineout following a PK to touch. Surely you can tell him. Would you at 20-19 deny a conversion attempt for...

That seems logical. A quick check of the law book shows: Laws: 8.21, 12.1, 12.6, 12.8, 12.9. 12.12, 12.17, 12.18, 21.12 All are either a scrum or...

Next time dead. It doesnt happen often as there should be a 10 min or so window between games.

8.22 If the kicker indicates to the referee the intent to kick at goal, the opposing team must stand still with their hands by their sides from the...

20.8 The kicker may punt, drop-kick or place-kick (other than for touch) the ball. The place kick to touch is clearly an infringement. 2016 law...

So restart with a 22m dropout ..

You could, but giving the kicking team a free shot at conning the referee does not seem equitable or fair.

So to be clear the law book DOES NOT specify a scrum for an incorrectly take kick. You could allow a retake.

All this stuff about knocking on the door assumes I know which of the 10 changing rooms each team is in! Most of the time it’s hard enough to find...

We follow the teams out here, usually give a 20min warning, then as im leaving the pitch following my warm-up ill give them the time again and then...

So we are told to blow the whitstle 7.3 Advantage must not be applied and the referee must blow the whistle immediately when: e. A quick throw,...

Where is that Law ? I can't see it

Also, of course, there is the "cat-all" referred to above.

Yes, in the game the ref gave a scrum. I'd agree with that on the basis that 8.21's sanction is a scrum and, as others have pointed out, the...

I notice the commentary was in French. This happened years ago at my local club. See this Discussion thread:...
