it strikes me that the pros could do this very easily - ref and nearside AR watch the maul. far side AR watches to keep both sides 10m back .
of course the far side AR is not going to be able to...

you wouldn't want to put one arm out, though, as that looks like advantage.

this is one that would be worth formalising into the lawbook I reckon - a signal for lineout over.

They could also...

yes.
for the lineout, I prefer the arm up. I wonder why it has gone out of fashion at elite levels..

there used to be a clear convention : ref holds his arm up vertically until the lineout is over. It was a god convention, clear and the raised arm visible to all players.

I've noticed that...

i am REALLY MISSING the like button !

of course they could - (and indeed it happens) but they phone the society, and one of the appointment team appoints them.

appointments is quite a serious role - you have some responsibility to the...

do you do appointments for your society ? If you are not an appointer then, naturally you can't appoint

I figured it must have...

That's what I have. Ironman counts down from 40 and I stop start it

On the other hand a watch tells me it's half past three.

My society have started a focus on this .. a peer to peer MOT session. Not part of the formal grading promotion system, but properly written up (and you must do an assessors course to deliver one). ...

He clearly agrees with the TMO that he is going to give a PK
And then doesn't

To your second question .. for me yes, if you realise in time that you have have made a mistake, admit it and...

i meant of the refs, but yes of course.

Of the refs felt most sorry for Joubert, stranded without TMO support.

On the other hand, surely the *worst* ref performance was Romain Poite in the Ken...

I use the Ironman range from timex.

I penalize it, and have to explain why, to bemused 17 year olds who are only doing what they have been coached

Who do we feel most sorry for ?

Yes.
I have given a clear and robust explanation.

How do you explain the different treatment then ,?

well, if Mahler had been charged under 9.11 Players must not do anything that is reckless or dangerous to others. he would have been found not guilty. They has to use 9.27 then they were trapped by...

When I did kids then
If the missing mouithguard was in his bag beside the pitch we would wait for him to fetch it

If it's in the clubhouse .. or at home .. then compulsory substituted

Jerome Kaino did , you might remember "Even Superman misses stuff"
