1) Red 10 grub kicks towards the Blues' corner
post. Red 14, who is on-side, tries to gather the ball 3m
from Blues' line, but he knocks it on. The ball lands in
goal, where Blue 11 grounds it. How is the match restarted?
2) At the first scrum the Blue
front row engages before the
referee's call to do so. What action should
the referee take?
What some Refs get up to
A little while back a couple of our Society's Refs, who were
on tour in a warm climate, decided to go on an island hopping
excursion. The day started brilliantly, but suddenly a tropical
storm struck and the boat was capsized. They managed to
swim to a deserted island and found that, together with a young
lady passenger, they were the only survivors. Nature took
its course and soon they began indulging in lots of casual sex.
After a while the young lady felt so disgusted with herself that
she committed suicide. Very tragic of course, but our two
Refs managed to get over it and shortly afterwards nature took
its inevitable course and sex once more was on the agenda.
After a few months of this, our two friends were so disgusted
with themselves that they decided to do the honourable thing too-
so they buried her.
