Refereeing decisions

[Dan54]

Just a comment that came to mind, was watching sports news , and see in soccer wc how many people going crook about reffing etc, so it seems it all sports and not just rugby? I know this is about rugby refs, but just thought we should take note it seems an awful lot of fans in sports are unhappy with refs.

And soccer has about 3 rules so we should feel fairly satisfied that rugby refs get it right as often as they do

We're seeing a level of access to footage and decision making - as well as a barrage of others' opinions on those decisions - that we've never had before, thanks to social media and on-demand content. The increased questioning of, for lack of a better word, 'decision makers' isn't unique to just sport either.

Yep mate, I don't think we seeing bad refs as you say, just more footage and opinions on social media etc, and agree it's in a lot of things.

Just watching a Lyon/Saracen's Heineken Cup game and see something I wish refs or someone would stamp out. Reserves being in the in goal area, Sean Maitland actually ran past a Lyon reserve to score try!

 

[brokendown]

couldn't agree more-the in goal is part of the feild-a no go area

 

[gel]

NH referees do not police obstruction.

 

[ruggy]

Another shameless plug - the rules/directives and what impact I think they’ll have on professional rugby

Where else do the reserves warm up?

I agree that it's far from ideal but generally it's the only place possible. A lot of the Northern Hemisphere grounds that are shorter with tiny in-goals make it even worse.

How does the 60 penalty kick rule work?

Penalty awarded at 57.21

Being kicked aver 60 seconds later.

When does the 60 seconds start?

I'm guessing when the ref calls it, probably from when the tee is with the kicker. I was watching that myself.

They arent being super consistent on the rules yet.

"The referee will put a stopwatch on kickers who will have 90 seconds to kick a conversion from the time a try is awarded, and 60 seconds for penalties, from the time the referee signals a shot at goal."

Law variations make for fast-paced opening round

Referee signals for goal attempt at 57:36.

Checked this. Agree with your time point.

Ball to boot in the kick at 58:34. Very professional in chewing up time.

Yeah but still less than usual right

?? Does "usual" mean last year? It was 2s within the rules for 2023. Presuming the ref was going to call it.

Yeah last year players regularly took longer

how good would a count down timer be for the crowd! imagine the building tension and noise if you had less that 10 seconds to kick the ball.

Marinos said that will happen next year. Some sort of issue with the current agreements

James Dolman had a shocker tonight.

Just watching the Brumbies Reds game now and whilst I don't think the calls favored either team I've never seen a larger shit show at the ruck and so many knock ons called play on.


Isnt he normally a TMO?
