New Referee Class, 19th – Giddy Up!
GET NEW PEOPLE INTO THE REFEREE PIPELINE
- Get the blowhard from the touchline to blow the whistle: Then maybe he (and yes, she) will learn the Laws, civility and channel his energy serving productively, with the assumption that the hot air will be expelled during running from break down to break down, not from blowing his whistle as much as he yells.
- Get the Youth mom, she is an expert at managing herds of boys and girls and stepping in on foul play: We need all ages and genders.

Law Question: Lineout receivers position
Posted by RefsFromChair on May 17th, 201219.8 (i) Where the receiver must stand.
Question:
Must there be a receiver at every lineout? If the receiver joins the lineout before the ball has been thrown, does another member of the lineout have to drop out into a receiver position. This is before the ball has been thrown into the lineout – no one can join the lineout after the ball has started moving. Can there be a lineout with no receiver? And obviously, there cannot be two players in the scrum half position – we see this a lot! 2011 Law Book page 125. USA Game Management page 8 – lineout A.2.
