GRR: Referees
With the Women's Rugby World Cup kicking off in 10 days it's worth remembering that, along with the USA national team, there are two other Americans participating.
Kat Roche will be a Referee and Assistant Referee (AR) while Amelia Luciano will be an AR.
Two lawsuits vs USA Rugby have been dismissed, according to court records.
Earlier this year National Collegiate Rugby attempted to merge two additional lawsuits into their suits against USA Rugby.
Before we all get caught up in New Years resolutions, we can celebrate another tradition of the New Year—World Rugby messing around with the laws.
Now, don't get us wrong. We here at GRR World Headquarters think that sometimes the laws need to be messed around with, but not always, and not always in the same way.
One of the features, perhaps the responsibilities, of big tournaments is to develop good refereeing.
Maggie Rouse, President of Rugby Texas, passed away this past Friday.
Rouse, who was a vocal supporter of youth rugby for many years as well as a huge advocate for getting young people trained and certified as referees, was in addition a member of the USA Youth & High School Board and had been since the organization's inception.
