Scrum Engagegment
You may be aware that, in a domestic competition in New Zealand, referees are inviting front rows to engage by saying “crouch, touch, engage”.
This change is being trialled with iRB approval in New Zealand; however, under no circumstances should this engagement procedure be applied at any level of our domestic rugby. The present engagement procedure must be followed unless we are otherwise directed by the iRB.

Training meetings

you are up to date with the way games are to be refereed.
