Episode 31 - Scottish Rugby's Match Official Strategy with Andrew Macpherson

Advantage Over podcast for rugby referees

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
