SA Referees have a warning that goes with this: Any official and /or Union, Institution or School who allows anybody to officiate as a referee who does not meet the above requirements could be held responsible should any legal action be instituted against such individuals.

SA Referees asks all provincial referees' societies to distribute this reminder to all rugby-playing schools and clubs. All societies are formally required receipt of the reminder and their undertaking to disseminate the reminder.
