Scenario Two:

You have been demoted by your head of referees for poor performance in a previous game that caused both coaches to speak out at your handling of the game. You now have been appointed to referee a Challenge Cup 2nd fixture involving two conference sides, team F and team S.

Team S are attacking 20m out from team F's tryline when on the last tackle team S put boot to ball.

The ball is fielded by team F's fullback who takes the ball and tackle just 1m from the team F tryline.

The fullback in his hastiness to get his team moving plays the ball at an angle of 20 degrees to the right of the original tackle and in his hastiness hasn't checked to make sure that an acting half back was present when the attempt to the play ball began.

Resulting in the front marker for Team S diving behind the tackled player playing the ball and reaching the ball over the try line in a clean act.

What do you do? You are the referee so it's over to you................

Correct

If anyone else would like to post a scenario your welcome to as the Observer has a very good "you are the ref/umpire" section in the sports pullout and I thought I would translate that on here.

Scenario Three:

Team K have been awarded a scrum following a forward pass on team D's previous active play leaving team D to defend their line.

The scrum is 10m out from team D's tryline and with the score all locked up at 22-22 and with just six minutes remaining, things are very heated as the scrum packs down.

Team K as the non-offending team get the loose head and feed, but with tensions running high and with team K's sets of forwards pushing the scrum an appereciable distance to the disadvantage of team D before the scrum half of team K has put the ball in the scrum you blow your whistle and stop play indicating that the scrum has to reform to it's original position.

On the games restart once again team K's sets of forwards start pushing the scrum an appereciable distance to the disadvantage of team D before the scrum half has completed putting the ball into the scrum.

The players of team D are appealing for a penalty as team K has had a second chance.

What do you do? You are the referee so it's over to you................

Award a differential penalty to team D
