No, its not a choice, you play advantage and you decide when its over.

It certainly is, statements to the police given, all on video.

This season I have had 3 red cards, so

1. 2YC (for 3 deliberate knock ons) Level 5
2. RC punching (3 weeks) Level 6
3. RC punching - No sanction yet (It will be a lenghy ban, as it was about...

I accept that my approach is sometimes not ideal, but it is my stance on it. I can accept others may use YC for handbags or 50/50s and I dont think they are wrong for doing so, however I would be...

Dave is correct that a well managed game can prevent flair ups and a good referee can note a distinct change in temperature and has the tools to manage it.

However even if the referee doesnt do...

If you do that most of wales wont be able to understand you.

For this it should be Murder, not sure of the law in that country.

For me always, Punch RC, every time, no exceptions ever. My thought, fighting and assault has no place on a rugby pitch.

Remember as a referee, do you need to bring undue attention on yourself?

This seems like a try with a quiet word after the kick, nothing more needed.

a PT is a massive call, and because of the...

I suppose thats fair enough, depending on the game. There was no reaction from the other players.

Penalty and Yellow, not sure where he landed his feet.

But that wouldn't happen and no not all have to have the same amount of warnings. Not all will be binding incorrectly.

Also you also only need to PK a bind that collapses the scrum ;). If its...

I always think is it a penalty I need to give? Is the decision credible?

It is done by teams to catch them offside, jumper catches and dummys to the SH hoping they all come through the line.

Peep - Lads you lift him and you bring him straight back down. We are here to...

Easy.

Tight head get your bind up and allow the lose head to bind.
Next one. I have asked you, next time it will be a penalty and the one after that guess where you will be going. Sort it out.

I was there, referees dinner on the friday night and the drinking commenced with neat Gin at 0800s.
Needless to say I am glad when the match started to have a rest from the drinking :)

Brilliant...

It shouldnt even be a consideration or any form of issue IMO. Why is colour of boots ever an issue? I truly dont understand?? Please dont say its a bright colour, or brings attention to you, then...

It happens at all levels. Make a stand and the old farts see you as trouble and end your promotion quickly, i have seen it happen to a number of very good referees.

I mean to show you how stuck...

when refereeing went professional and money and jobs are at stake ;)

Or ignore the other bit and play on

Of course you have to apply the laws, but sensibly and not just as written.
But that is easier said than done, practically I mean at the elite level.
We have some issues as referees -
1. the...

That would be useful for development in your report, if that was in my report I would ask what material effect it had? Probably none! If a ref pinged it, it would be pedantic and if an assessor...

Or just have a different opinion ;) rather than know better.

There again I seem to get games with no scrum resets ;)

I do on a medical journal at home. I will see if...

There has been less injuries with CTPE and CTS than any other engagement, hence why the IRB wont change the calls to much.

No its only a problem for us spectators, not the players, coaches, DoRs etc etc.
and its only a problem for us because we listen to loud mouth commentators who has nothing good to say or anything...

Empathy? do you really referee zero tolerance?

The scrums are only a mess at the very top of the game, and Brian Moore shouts alot so people think its a big problem. Its not. As others level 6...
