There is a skill to being really strict in the first 10 minutes - setting out your stall - and then relaxing the approach.

Yous should only relax the approach, if you are being seriously strict...

L7

Northampton Old Scouts -v- Belgrave

2nd (relegated from L6 last year) plays 3rd

Like you I used to record them in my scorebook with a note of the number and the offence (used a form of shorthand). If it was the case that my scorebook was quickly in and out of the pocket that...

Been reappointed.

EMRU Cup Quarter Final Match

Bedford Athletic -v- Oundle

On the Bedford Ath 3G pitch :o)

All the England players were pointing upfield when the penalty was awarded and I'm guessing the AR was having a word because they were clearly stood marking the spot from which the kick was taken!

No, he's retreated behind the last teammate to play the ball before advancing to play the ball.

We have?

When and where is this to be found?

FWIW I agree with everything that you have answered, but would probably allow the #9 a quick tap but wouldn't play the "Not 10" if he deliberately...

It depends upon the manner in which they are speaking with you. You could always pre-empt this with an explanation at the time you aware the PK.


For me, this week's appointment is:

Ampthill...

Best to go to a specialist sports shop - if you can find one these days!

Leicestershire Merit Table Match

Oundle 2 -v- Stoneygate 1st

Hoping that after last week's drama we actually kick off on time! Melbourne got stuck on the Motorway and didn't arrive until 10...

As crossref alludes. You wouldn't count an immaterial offence in the 'count' but you might - from a game management viewpoint - want to make the Captain and errant player aware of the transgression....

Home captain tosses the coin

Q1. Yes - Under the terms of 3.7 an unfair advantage has been gained.
Q2. N/A due to my answer to Q1
Q3. Sanction is a PK restart at the half-way line, in line with the sanction stated at 3.7.

Except there are insufficient players - as described in the OP - for it to satisfy the requirements of a "Maul".

This is one of those odd scenarios where you have a tackle - as defined in Law because the ball carrier has been taken to ground (Law 14.1) - with a tackled player but no tackler (because he is still...

On Saturday I will be in Northampton.
East Mids 1

Old Northamptonians -v- Melbourne

The only downside with refereeing at ONs is that one of the members is a "Suit" and sits on the Laws...

Just like a scrum has to formed within 30 seconds of the referee making the mark?

Can really see that working at showbiz level, not! :biggrin:

didds I understand the points you are trying to make but find that I am not in agreement.

With regard to the back rows unbinding on a scrum going backwards, if it can be achieved at grassroots...

No game for me this weekend thanks to the short-sightedness of the League administrators :/

Was all ready to sit down and watch the RWC Final only to be told by my daughter - who is Poppy selling...

The issuing of a YC for a repeated team/player offence in no way resets the clock with regard to whether another YC will be shown.

In this case the #16 was off-side at a breakdown - and had...

If they are both in the air challenging for the ball then this is a rugby incident. The fact that one player is able to jump higher than another does not enter the equation

You say in the OP...

In essence the comment of the assessor was that I should have involved the Captain when the YC was shown - even though I had previously warned him (and it was not for a 'Foul Play' offence) - rather...

Interesting comment from my Match Development Official (Assessor) in last weekend's match.

I showed a YC to the Black #16 for a repeated team offence - it was their 7th penalty infringement of the...

The coaching team are within the "Playing Enclosure" and so subject to the same respect and sanctions as the players on the field of play.

As for a law Reference? Try Law 9.27 - a bit of leap...

Advance the mark 10m due to unsportsmanlike behaviour by the coaching team.
