Referee Series

Professional referees Ben O’Keeffe and Mike Fraser share their thinking on the big calls, the laws and how to prepare. Short videos for referees at every level.

How to use the series

  • Getting started: advice to young referees, pre-match briefing and tough calls.
  • The breakdown: the tackle, the jackler, cleanouts and entering through the gate.
