Robert Yemen, WRU - 'During August there is a considerable reduction in referee availability, primarily due to the holiday season'.
With numerous friendly matches being played during this time would you please adhere to the following:-
During this period only, you are permitted to directly contact a referee from the WRU list to officiate at your match, with proviso that approval is sought from the Referees Department. However, matches involving either the Regions or Principality Premiership sides, whether home or away, will be appointed by the WRU.
From a WRU Insurance point of view no game can be played unless officiated by a referee on the WRU List of referees who has been accredited with a WRU Level 3 Referee Licence. This should be produced on request.
Please note in line with previous seasons, match officials travelling expenses for ALL friendly matches (including Regions and Premiership sides) are to be paid direct to the match official on the day of the game by the home club and are not refundable. This is also the case for friendly matches during the season.
The Referees Department must be informed of all matches that are taking place.
Notification of matches must be received a minimum of 4 (four) working days prior to the match taking place.
Kind Regards
Robert Yeman
National Referee Manager
