I'm joined by Andrew Macpherson, now the High Performance Match Official Manager from Scottish Rugby to talk about their new three year Refereeing and Match Official Development Strategy

We chat about:

  • Why there's been a 17 year gap between Scottish international referees
  • The new Match Official Strategy and how it'll help reduce the 17 year gap before the next one
  • How to attract referees up and down the rugby pyramid
  • Creating CPD for referees - and accrediting new trainers
  • How great referees need great referee coaching
  • How Scotland aim to increase the number and diversity of officials but also to improve retention rates at all levels of the game.
  • Bringing in skills expertise outside of rugby to help referees develop
