ERURS 05 Law Study Schedule
This Law Study suggested schedule has been updated as of February 18/08.
Every referee should be reading the iRB Rugby Football Law Book several times a season. I have prepared a suggested schedule of reading order that breaks up the lighter laws and most usefully the what-I-call “heavier” laws, such as Line-Out, Scrum, etc.
If you have a copy of the Law Book from 2006, this is best. We should be receiving the 2008 Law Books in April from Rugby Canada. Just use 2006 for now. If you are hankering for an exam to write, I will be attaching the Australian Exam.
