Lots of offsides by Red, I think I would have had a couple in the bin by the end. Lots of chances to end the game as well. Did I see a knock on by white and an accidental offside by white when the ball carrier ran into one of his own team in front of him. So much to talk about in that sequence...

I find with Asics I always have to buy a size bigger than normal.

No game for me this weekend, off to Twickenham to cheer the Navy on against the Army.

If we accept that the half had finished before the foul play occurred. Law 20.1 Infringement while the ball is dead. Location of penalty or free kick. - At the point where play would have restarted or, if that place is on the touchline or within 15 metres of it, the mark is on the 15-metre...

Maybe the ref decided the half was over when the maul went into touch (as time was up), but didn't get chance to blow for half time due to the scuffle. If the half is over the penalty is awarded where play would restart, which would be the second half kick off.

The RFU have issued a statement. Cant find it at the moment though.

Is there a question in there or are you just having a go at the ref? Sounds like a dynamic situation, and which of us hasn't said something only for the situation to change seconds later? Use it is called when the ball is available to be played, if there is a counter ruck that might no longer be...

That sounds a lot different. Like anything in life, take what's useful, ignore what isn't. Working with AR's is a skill that has to be learnt. Being an AR is the same. You will quite often get an inexperienced AR who is trying to do the referees job, instead of supporting him/her.

I don't think they will appreciate being ignored, you are meant to be a team. Try and keep infield and let your ARs cover the touchline side of engagements. If you think you might have missed something, look up at them to see if they are giving (discreet) hand signals). At lineouts have a quick...

There's a joke in there, but it's too easy.

We have the new Axiwi's with the curly earpieces. They are much better than the boom mic versions. I have purchased these new style headsets for the one older set of Axiwi we have. We use them on open Mic and it works well. I am happy for all the input I can get, but tell them not to be upset...

I'm not quite sure which comment you are replying to here, but as as an Assistant Referee, if the referee spoke to me like this he's on his own. Don't be surprised if you get hung out to dry!

From your initial description I am going to penalise Red 14 for throwing the ball away, because that's what started it all. From your initial description what follows is a lot of pushing and cuddling, so that's just a warning and stick with the original offence. If however a punch is thrown by...

The law says "as soon as the ball is won". Make of that what you will.

No. not saying that, what he can't do is be held up there with the ball, because he cant be touched while he is in the air, so just holding him in the air with the ball isn't allowed. Either he passes away from the top, straight away. Or gets brought back down to ground, with the ball, straight...

If he is dummying the throw then he probably isn't conforming to Law 18.29.c 29. Once the lineout has commenced, any player in the lineout may : C: Lift or support a team-mate. Players who do so must lower that player to the ground safely as soon as the ball is won by either team. Sanction...

So am I best sticking to the way I am doing it now and throwing out any clubs with less than a certain number of games, maybe 2? Or do I throw out the highest and lowest scores for each club, like they do in scoring ice skating?

Could do with a little help if anyone is into statistics? We have a trophy for the club that looks after referees the best each season. Every game is marked out of 4, under ten headings. i.e. Welcome and post match hospitality, marked 1 to 4 Changing room and shower facilities, 1-4, etc To...

Cup game this weekend. Leek v Walsall. Last weekends cup game I forgot to check the regs, and it ended in a draw with the final conversion after time. Collected coaches and captains together and borrowed a phone to look up the regulations for a draw. Team with most Tries won (4 - 5). This...
