If schools wish to play games mid-week (traditional fixtures, pre-season or make up games) then the Schools’ Rugby contact must get in touch with Cody Neilson to organise one. Please allow one weeks’ notice for referee requests to increase the chances of success. Details you will need to provide: • Venue of the game, • Level of the game i.e. 1st XV, 4th grade etc., • Opposition For further information around the laws of the game or general questions about refereeing, contact: Cody Neilson Phone: 09 815 4818 Email: [email protected] Blue Card Initiative The Blue Card Concussion protocol will be implemented across all Secondary School rugby fixtures in Auckland that are officiated by a qualified referee who has been trained to identify indicators of concussion. The Blue Card process is: • A player is shown a Blue Card on the rugby field, after the referee identifies they are displaying indicators of concussion. • The issuing of a Blue Card triggers formal off-field follow up processes/procedures with the referee and Team management to complete a serious injury form • The Blue Card removes any doubt as to whether the player is removed from the field of play for concussion. There can be no opportunity for the player to return to the field if he/she “recovers”. • The Blue Card that the referee issues is similar in concept to the yellow/red card, in that the player MUST leave the field however in the case of a blue card the player carded may be replaced immediately. • Auckland Rugby will send a letter to the school and player confirming
