In Episode 11 of the Advantage Over podcast, I’m joined by Phil Everitt, a referee with the Staffordshire and Royal Navy Societies, who mixes his referee background with his day-job as an IT Manager. In a unique way, Phil helps people attending top level rugby understand what’s in front of them.
We delve into the how, and the why in this episode – explaining what this touch screen does, and how it helps the 26,000 spectators in the stadium to enjoy their afternoon watching rugby to the max.
We also dip into some of the other initiatives that Leicester Tigers have to help educate their fan base into refereeing matters.
