The Disciplinary Committee have noticed an increase in red card offences for last season with new laws be implemented, especially for tip tackle.
This is without a doubt one of the major problems our game is facing at the moment!
Problems with abuse have come mostly from players but also coaches and spectators
referees decisions.
see Reg 15 http://www.hampshirerugby.co.uk/info/admin/admin-regulations.html
Technical Area should be no larger than 10 metres and at least 1 metre from the touch line.
to try and eradicate this problem
We would ask all Club Chairman and Discipline Chairman to hold a meeting with all players/coaches/managers and get the message out that...
ABUSE of OFFICIALS will NOT be tolerated
Also, I need to remind you all that new red card sanctions for contact with the head have now come into force – Mid entry point.

Please note that U11’s age grade is the last mixed gender age group rugby:
the following season, if you had / have any girls playing at U11’s, they will have to join a Girls U13’s Age group at U12's. (a dual age band compromising U12 and U13 girls only).
If your club does not have a Girls only U13’s group to provide a pathway for your U11’s girls, you should signpost these players to the nearest centre for Girls age grade rugby
Currently there are centres for girls U13’s, U15’s and U18’s at:
Basingstoke
Ellingham & Ringwood,
Havant
Trojans
Winchester
Additionally there is
U13’s Girls only at New Milton
U13's and U15's at Fawley
U13's at Portsmouth (new)
U13's at Alton (new)
There is a Local Rugby Partnership for Girls rugby in operation in Hampshire which is supporting the development of girls only rugby in those clubs.
For any clubs interested in providing girls only rugby at U13’s at their own club, please contact your RDO, Kieran Spencer This email address is being protected from spambots.
