On behalf of LSRUR

To keep everyone safe whilst playing the game we love, the RFU have created a number of law adaptions within the normal XV a side game so that we can return to competitive full contact rugby. You might have seen these adaptions posted on social media over this last week.

Although, the society have made it mandatory for their referees to attend a training session on the new adaptions before they return to refereeing. To minimalise contact time of their referees with the players, the referee will not be going through these law variants in person prior to the game with coaches or players. The mandatory training session is so they can apply the laws safely, fairly and accurately.

As a society we would like to invite your coaches to a training session so that they may see what the new law adaptions are and how they are going to be refereed. Please note that there will no information on other covid guidelines for clubs or schools.

The session will be held by zoom on Wednesday 16th December at 7pm. If you or your coaches would like to attend then please email the society training officer; George Richardson and he will send you the meeting details for you to distribute. You will not be admitted into the zoom meeting room unless you email him prior with a list of names so that he may keep the meeting secure.

Please follow the link so you may prepare any questions.
