Being more than a referee
There are a whole host of reasons why you might take up the whistle: to remain active in the sport following injury or retirement, to make new and lasting friends within the game, or to gain a sense of achievement by providing an invaluable service to players, coaches and spectators alike.
Refereeing is a fun, exciting, non-contact way to be involved with Rugby Union. Not only do you get to see all the action from the best position on the field, but it’s a great way to keep fit, and meet new and interesting people.
Whatever the reason, refereeing is challenging, rewarding and above all, can be great fun.
