My Current set up is 2 digital and analogue watches. One is worn facing "up" and I use it for the stopwatch for my halfs (i can still se the time with the hands, so if I forget to press a button I...

I did that too lol. But like Marc, I just ball-parked it based on the KO time and the current time. Would imagine that's quite small thing though. Can't think of anything that would be have a...

For the Refs, for the Joubert decision, am I right in saying the secondary signal is for a deliberate knock on? If so I can't see anything that remotely looked like it was a deliberate KO. 2 Scottish...

Fellow refs, I'm contemplating a Smart watch. But want one to use for reffing too. Any recommendations. While I'm a tight fisted Scotsman, I'm not adverse to paying a wee bit for a good quality...

So the original question, who do we have most sympathy for. Got to be Brian surely? Than man got injured, could've been career ending.

Geez, it sounds like your talking about a murder on the field or something. Yes it's not allowed, but it's hardly the worst thing one can do on the pitch. I've never been coached to do an extra roll....

D for Democrat? lol

Absolutely nothing happening up here in non-pro SRU land. We're just kind of twiddling our thumbs, watching the world play rugby. Are they're any countries (other than Scotland) that are still not...

Using your criteria of immediately, nothing happens immediately in rugby. You're tackled, you hit the ground - you stop moving then you release. The Laws state you're tackled as soon as you're...

This is a tough subject to comment on. But I do think concussion is something that medically has been known about for decades. Seems daft to me to not realise that repeated significant contacts to...

But the tackled player is permitted to push the ball in any direction (except forward). If opposite team have hands on the ball he's not going to be able to do that. I see that as part of the...

But it only dangerous for them. If they were endangering the opposition then fine. I'd say just not penalise the defending player (unless they ducked or did something to endanger the jumping player)....

To build on the OP question. If the defense don't engage but the attacking team grabs one and pulls him/her in. Is this now a Maul, or has the player (in the attacking side) just played a player...

Highest winning margin in a game I Played - 110 - 3
Highest Losing margin in a game I've played - 102 - 0
Biggest margin in a game I've reffed. "64-14" - U-16 mercy rule. Played past that ended up...

Well, lets review the last couple of months. Left the EU - the preceding weekends have been blasted with storms. There's been localised flooding, due to the increase in waterfall and building damage...

That's us off up here now too. From 18:00 on Sunday.

Not been told anything up here in SRU land yet.

Why give 9s special protection. We'd not give any other player the chance to pass it away. Player goes to ground to gather a loose ball, the contest starts straight away. There's no requirement to...

This with bells on. But IF you YC Ritchie, you'd then need to YC B11 at least. But yes, Ian_Cook. 100% agree with you. That makes 6 of us. You, me and the 4 match officials lol

Respectfully, the one in all in still exists. What has changed since the days you (and I started playing), is the manner of involvement. When we started it was very common for player to go flying in...

Using your criteria, you'd need to RC B3, YC W6 and B11. Since he came charging in from distance too. But I think a stern word to both of those players would do.

I beg to differ. There are at least 4 refs that seemingly agree with me. That's the Match Offical, 2 ARs and a TMO who reviewed the incident, noticed and talked about all the events and decided that...

Nope, I've merely presented what occurred.

1 - There was a disagreement between White 8 and Blue 3.
2 - Blue 1, 2 and 5 join Blue 3 surrounding White 8
3 -This seems to me to be the point of...

I agree and that's what happened here. The 3 other French players inserted themselves into the 1 on 1 scuffle, which was handbags. Which escalated the situation to the points that Ritchie and another...

@ Biking bud. I'm wondering if you've ever played sir. You look up and your team mate is surrounded by 4 players from the opposition, you go and help them. Or you're team mate will not trust you. So...
