Law Application Guidelines - January 2023



A reminder to all our referees that World Rugby has issued some new Law Application Guidelines which are to be implemented for January 2023 onwards.


These fall under the following headings..

Speeding up the game

Water Carriers

Negative Player Action

Player On The Ground

Deliberate Knock-On


There is also one for TMO Protocol but this is not reverent to the community game.


The guidelines can be found on the World Rugby website at...
