North Midlands Society of Rugby Football Referees: Est. 1920
Dear colleagues,
We need your help!
As you know, the evaluation of the GLTs will determine what is, and what is not, written into law for next season. World Rugby is evaluating their impact in every professional competition worldwide as well as internationals. In the Premiership, the RFU is conducting its own research which will be presented to World Rugby. At levels 3-5, referees are required to complete a short survey after each game.
What we would like to do is ask referees at level 6 and below to complete the same survey, using this link https://forms.office.com/r/uiTa9m79zU
| Fill | World Rugby Global Law Trials 2021-22 It is very important that we gather your views from across the Community Game. Your responses will help shape our feedback to the RFU Laws Sub-Committee and the Match Official Development Team and then onto World Rugby. Thankyou for taking the time to complete the questionnaire, it is appreciated. Take care and stay safe. The RFU wants to use the data you give in a way which is fair and transparent. https://www.englandrugby.com/about-rfu/rfu-policies/privacy-policyforms.office.com |
Having, literally, thousands of responses from the Community Game will form part of the RFU submission to World Rugby.
Your society’s support is essential and greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Michael Tim
