[QUOTE="fcukernaut, post: 95679"] To me the most important laws of the game when refereeing either young or inexperienced players is the off-side law, the scrum laws and the handling errors(ie. knock ons, forward passes ect.). I find that if you don't keep a hard off-side line, then backs have absolutly no time to play. And this is a huge problem amongst youth teams as players are inexperienced and don't really know what to do with the ball when they have all the time in the world, let alone having the defence screaming down their throats. The scrum laws are fairly obvious has this is really the number 1 hazard area in rugby even at the professional level. Finally, the handling errors are another big concern. Everyone knows that you can't throw it forward or drop the ball as it will result in a scrum. Those are the main areas a ref will be looking at with inexperienced players(I'm assuming you're not the only one in this boat?). As other portions of the game can really be given the blind eye. You'll get called for obvious hands in the ruck and what not, but at some point you just have to let the game flow. [/QUOTE]
