This video is presented by Clare Daniels, RFU Match Official Development Officer, who also made fame this year by becoming the first female fourth official Premiership Rugby history. The video has excellent advice and examples about the variety of communication skills you need to master as a referee.
Clare expertly and clearly explains the importance of:
1. THE WHISTLE
2. HAND SIGNALS
3. THE VOICE
At the end, there are handy tips from Steve Harland of the Royal Navy Referee Society. As you will see, ‘don’t be afraid to practise’ is the message that come across time and again.
