Refereeing provides an amazing opportunity to support and run the game. Whether you’ve played the game before or it’s your first involvement in Rugby Union, officiating is a invaluable role to make rugby happen in your environment.  

Not only this, but refereeing can help support leadership skills, confidence and communication skills, so is a great way of developing yourself as an individual, as well as playing a pivotal part of our sport.
