Welcome to our new section 'Ask the Ref'. This is designed to enable you the players, coaches, referees, officials or spectators to ask any questions relating to the laws of the game or any other issues involving refereeing. This is NOT a forum for criticising individual referees but an opportunity to seek clarity in the case of confusion. We would also be pleased to receive any interesting or humorous stories you may wish to bring to our attention.

Please take advantage of this new facility and help us to help you to further improve your understanding of this wonderful game of ours.

All queries relating to laws and referees will be referred to James Jones in his capacity as Chairman of the West Society of Referees and we would like to thank him and his colleagues for their support in launching this venture. We believe we are the only Region to provide this facility - yet another indication that the Ospreys lead the way in Wales.
