The Advantage Over podcast is back! After a bit of a break – sorry, the season got in the way – we’re back with a round-up of the recent referee and referee-related news.
Up front, we talk about:
- The implementation of the law trials into full law
- U20 World Championship referees
- U20s trials on reducing the height of the tackle
- NZRU referee coaching appointments
- World Cup qualifying debacle
- Refs for the Summer international window which opens this weekend
And then, we’re joined (timestamp: 17 mins onwards) by Clare Daniels, Match Official Development Officer at the RFU/England Rugby (pic left), talking about her journey breaking glass ceilings as a female referee and match official.
We chat about an event last weekend which brought 60 active female referees from around England to talk about how the sport can attract a sustainable pipeline of future referees. We hear about what guest speaker, football referee Sian Massey-Ellis MBE brought to the event, and what initiatives like Keep Your Boots On can do for spreading the message to the rugby community.
Thanks Clare for joining us!
