If the flankers actions are causing the Prop to not drive straight and in at an angle just penalise the Prop. It is up to the prop to tell the flanker to stop what he is doing so that the prop...

unless he called it to be a ruck all ready then when the red player goes to ground and blue is still holding the ball red should let go.

I agree with this. I think this would stop it because the 9 wouldn't trust the clumsy forward to heel the ball back through 5 people.

Hi,

Can the ref hear the comms during the game or is it just for the live stream?

Good try and good Forwards play by 5.

He is just taking 'the cheating line'. Not law breaking but 'cheating' in the sense that he is taking the shortest possible route to where he predicts a...

That is different, a grey area has been created with the kick directly going into touch because you've looked for a grey area. A grey area did not even exist to me because in plain English it is...

I am personally reffing this with how I believe the equity of the laws intended. If it bounces and goes into touch I am playing the line out. If you played the line out there is no way the defending...

What I do in Yellow Card situations is (this has just developed over the 1st year of reffing):

. Blow whistle, Switch clock off, tell every one the clock is off. At this point I make a mark (so...

I'm willing to put my neck on the line here..... There is no way I am sending someone off for that on a Saturday.

I defy anyone could day that is a def red at first time of seeing it, at full...

The way I see it is that the first act of foul play is from Williams.

He is not at the back foot, has come in at the side to clear green 9 out. Was no need for that and ultimately what lead to it...

Recently we were doing a 15 on 15 team run through on a Thursday night. (Lvl 7).

As I am a relativly undersized BR player I can be lifted by one player quite easily (there are about 2 players in...

Another variation you might see is a significantly longer pen advantage when the non offending team are on the oppositions goal line, compared to when the non offending team are in their own 22 for...

Would you penalise the 'high knee action'?

It looks to me that the OP is a level 7 referee, I hope I am not speaking for him and out of turn but I would say no he (and I wouldn't). Simple reason...

I think we are making this too complicated.

When the scrum half goes to play the ball there are time when the ball is not stationary but instead the ball is 'coming out of the ruck'. Surely this...

The law says:

"Fall over the ball as it is coming out of a ruck."

So I suppose you need to interpret what is "coming out of the ruck" and what is "clearly out of a ruck".

When the ball is clearly out then I would see it as open play. But for a player to dive on it they would have to come from an onside position?

Learnt something from this one. I needed to revive of 6.10!

Spot on in my opinion, deliberate attempt of a tackle I would give PK. They are called Laws for these exact reasons, as they are laws they are open to our interpretation and you can interpret the law...

In using the word advantage I have muddied the waters (because of the obvious use of 'advantage' in the game).

What I am trying to say is that they have profited from the ball bouncing off the...

If the ball hits the ref and (critically) one team gains an advantage then you stop the game and there is a scrum.

Do you not therefore give the scrum to the team that 'did not gain the...

Same for me. 1hr 15 I aim for. Gives me time to be held up in traffic..... or get lost.

I had to go back and listen to this pod cast.

As Brian Moore said at the end, I can see both POVs.

I have always thought that if you take another player to ground in a ruck but you do it way...

at the community level I ask the two guys I give a flag to to mark the opposition back 5m at every scrum, this covers attack and defence.

As a AR myself (@Lvl 5 or 6 )I have been asked to stay...

Cheers for the heads up. I wouldn't have known that.

Ref it exactly the same as you would during the game.
