Referee - Pre Game Plan - Dallas @ Charlotte

1. Give Teams Structure in Set Piece

   1. Scrum Time - Stability is key and we do not move until we have 'stopped' scrum before we move on 

      1. Charlotte - Stability, Space, "Quick ball as needed"

      2. Dallas - Stability, Space, Hold weight - Attack as they want legal - Drive straight 

      3. Escalate as required. Free Kick > Warning > Yellow Card 

   2. Line-out -

      1. Big Gap - Need to ensure space is sacred - FK if crowding the gap. 

      2. No jumping across the line-out 

      3. Maul set up 

2. Harsh on Foul Play 

   1. Deal with this as a Team Of 3 on-field 

   2. Head Contact Process - Role Play 

3. Harsh on Tackler 

   1. Move the tackler and create space for 9 to play 

   2. Tackler needs to move before contest can happen 

Escalation Process: 

1. Repeated infringements need to be warned and escalation need to follow 

   1. Address Captains and give opportunity to change behaviour. 

   2. Follow through with escalated sanction. 

Space will be key for both teams to play 

• Pillars management - Moe to Manage and ARs to check in on water break as needed 

• NEVER onside vs Offside Timing C/O
