    In this article, the first in a series which depict referees who have made great contributions to rugby, we acknowledge John F Miner of Newcastle, NSW.

    In 1950 John Miner began a career in rugby which continues to this day. For 61 years he has been completely involved with the service of rugby & assisting rugby players.

    In 1950 he began refereeing in Newcastle. By 1954 he had reached First Grade standard and began controlling senior representative fixtures.

    From 1954 to 1967, he controlled in excess of 175 First grade ...

    This weekend saw the grudge match that is Leicester vs Northampton at Welford Road, and for some, the match proved to be every bit as tight as expected.

    The main talking point of the game however is the two straight Red Cards that Referee Wayne Barnes gave to Alessana Tuilagi & Tom Wood, and in this article I'll look into this incident.

    The ARU have made three requests for Law Clarifications to the iRB, some of them close to what we have been asking, unfortunately the iRB have not answered all the queries.

    The requests are:

    Request 2, 2011:

    “Law 17.6(g) says: “If the ball carrier in a maul goes to ground, including being on one or both knees or sitting, the referee orders a scrum unless the ball is immediately available.”

    Wales vs Eng - Knock on and Time back on after asking captain to speak to players

    Thread Starter: Flish

    Sonja drama

    Thread Starter: Dickie E

    I have such mixed thoughts on this. 1. Interviewer (gender irrelevant) clearly attempts to bait Farrell 2. Interviewer cops social media abuse for doing so 3. Interviewer sits in car crying because of the abuse 4. RFU apologises for the abuse Something about "heat" and "kitchens" comes to...
