At the recent Staffordshire Rugby Union Centenary Awards Dinner, two of our members were honoured for their long and unselfish service to Staffordshire Rugby and refereeing, Roy Smith, our President, and Steve Barr, our Appointments Lead. Many thanks to both for the amazing work!

The weather has been chilly recently so there's an important question to ask; Leggings - practical or fashion faux pas?

attention Rassie Erasmus. You are directly responsible for the horrible abuse suffered by Polly Barnes revealed by Wayne, this week. Your failure to take defeat on the chin and paranoid response to blame the referee should terminate your involvement in pro rugby for good.

Touchline “advice” to our referees appears to be growing exponentially. Let’s all work together to make sure this doesn’t cross the threshold into Match Official Abuse. 🙏🏼
