responsibility of the host school to appoint a suitably trained person - this person must have
completed a minimum of either an Associate Referee within the last 3 years and completed the
current year’s Rugby Smart course.
 If no suitably trained person can referee the game, the game must not be played and teams will
not receive any competition points for the game. Schools must refer to ASSRU By-law 6 Defaults,
Forfeits & Rescheduling Matches
 In cases where the ARU appointed referee does not turn up, the host school should notify Cody
Nielsen at the Auckland Rugby Union on the Monday following the game.
