Yuletide referees
Men of Goodwill
We hope that it is a time of peace for all referees of goodwill – for all men of goodwill, in fact. And that it is a happy time for individuals and families and groups all over the world. But our good wishes go out especially to 'match officials', the men of goodwill who make rugby orderly.
