HBRU Referee’s Abuse Policy
This Policy has been developed in conjunction with HBRRA
Match Official Abuse: HBRU has a zero tolerance of match official abuse. Any cases of abuse will be directed to the HBRU Judicial system for resolution. Match official abuse can originate from players, team management, club officials and club supporters. It is the responsibility of each club to ensure that there is no match official abuse at their venue and the responsibility of each team management to ensure their players do not indulge in any abuse.
Abuse can fall into either of two levels:
Both types of reports will be investigated with Level 1 most likely to go directly to the HBRU Judicial Committee. Level 2 reports will be investigated by HBRU staff in conjunction with HBRRA.
Abuse Definition: Verbal abuse, confrontational threatening actions or words and physical contact towards a match official. Disrespect of the authority of the match official. This can be a one-off incident or consistent reoccurring unwarranted language/swearing and/or actions disputing the match official’s integrity and authority.
Abuse Situations
On Field: Only the team captain may approach the referee with questions during the game and at half-time.
Off Field/side-line: In case of match official abuse from the side-line the referee will talk to both captains as a first action – so it is put back onto the teams/clubs. If the abuse continues the Ground Controller needs to be included and the offending parties spoken to. This may mean the removal of the offender(s) from the playing enclosure. If this is not done the game will be called off.
Post-Match: It is not acceptable for a member of a team or club to approach the match officials in a confrontational manner following the game. It is not acceptable for a member of a team or club to approach the match officials in the changing rooms or be confrontational in the club rooms following the match. If this situation occurs the home club is to fully support the match official even so far as to escort him to his vehicle in the car park, if this should become necessary.
Continued Regular Incidents: HBRRA have introduced a three (3) strike system which will be monitored weekly. After a first incident HBRU will notify the offending club that an incident has been logged. If there is a second incident the club will be warned that if there is a repeat, then HBRRA will withdraw all services for their next game. In addition to the game being abandoned (due to lack of referee) all five competition match points will be awarded to the opposition.
Game Day: Each club will appoint a Ground Controller who will make him/herself known to the match referee prior to the game. The Ground Controller must be wearing an official HBRU Ground Controller fluro vest so as to be visible to the match officials. Each field is to be roped off – where this is applicable. Note that HBRU also have a three-strike rule for clubs that do not provide a Ground Controller which can lead to a club having no home games after a third report/strike.
Match Official Reporting: Match officials are expected to complete a Referee Abuse Form if put in an abusive situation either from the game itself or from the side-lines. If the level of abuse is ‘lower level’, but concerning, the match officials are expected to file an Incident Report Form so that both HBRRA management and HBRU management are aware of a potential problem area.
Abandonment of Games: As noted above, if a game is abandoned due to match official abuse the matter will be dealt with by the HBRU Judicial Committee. If, however, the incidents continue then the HBRRA three strike system will be applied.

The squad is also having pre-season South Island tour over the period 17-25 April with match details to be announced shortly. To keep up with St John’s College rugby head to the Facebook page ‘St John’s College Rugby Foundation’
St Johns College Hastings has a proud history of rugby over it’s 75 years of existence. The advent of professional rugby in 1996 however has changed the secondary school rugby landscape.
Tier 1 schools which St Johns is wanting to be competitive with, are now run on a semi-professional basis. 1st XV and year 8 rugby scholarships are offered to promising players and gym training facilities, assistance with team travel and playing equipment is available to top players in these schools.
For St Johns to be competitive in the Central North Island competition we need to adopt a more professional approach re scholarships, etc and the St Johns Rugby Foundation is crucial. We need your financial support to make this happen.
THAT a reminder to all NOBM players – Checkout our pre-season training details – where & when on the Clubs Facebook. Pass the word around amongst your team mates and also any likely New Players your know of – be they family, friends or workmates. We have vacancies in all grades from Colts through to Premiers.
“Team up with the ‘GREEN MACHINE’ in 2021 – New Players WELCOME”
v THAT despite what was a convincing 39-17 eventual win for the Crusaders there were a couple of tough calls in last nights third round encounter with the Chiefs at Orangetheory stadium. The first being Chiefs fullback Damian McKenzie’s corner flag tackle on Leicester Fainga’anuku Havili which was ruled a five pointer despite a possible attackers foot grounding over the sideline.
And the second was Brad Weber being pinged for knocking-on the ball in his tackle of Richie Mo’unga when in fact he knocked Mo’unga’s arm and not the ball, the resulting play ended up with Weber being yellow carded and a penalty try being awarded to the hosts. Yes it wasn’t a good night for the match officials and especially the TMO’s interpretation of what he saw and what we viewed on our screens. And how much more disheartening can it be for the Waikato based franchise who now sitting on a run of twelve consecutive losses ?
THAT now is the time to consider becoming a Gold Card member of the Napier Old Boys Marist Rugby Club.

THAT his talents and form were recognised by the editors of the 2020 NZ Rugby Almanac is indeed an honour in rugby circles. Yes, Magpie and NZ Maori skipper hooker Ash Dixon joined fellow top performers Aaron Smith, Caleb Clarke, Richie Mo’unga and Lachlan Boshier in being named as the Almanacs five best players in New Zealand rugby in 2020.
It is indeed an honour to be recognised in the NZ Rugby ‘bible’, a publication of records, statistics and history that is in its 85th year having been first published in 1935. Hawkes Bays Rugby statistician Adrian Hill who along with Clive Akers and Campbell Burnes compile this comprehensive annual publication which is always a must for rugby enthusiasts and collectors as a rich source of New Zealand rugby information.
THAT a REMINDER to our 2020 club trophy recipients who still have their cups.
Colts – Paul Lapa, Thirds – Hayden Karekare, Jordan James. Premier Reserves – Kurt Chambers, Hamiora Miringaroangi, Adam Chapman. Major Trophy awardees – Will Tremain, Craig Gowler.
While we currently have at least half of the club trophies back up on display on the clubrooms, we are now requesting that we would like the recipients who still have their trophies to please drop them back to the clubrooms bar when it is open late on Saturday afternoons. Alternatively they could be dropped off at my residence at 69 Faraday Street (off Carlyle St) at anytime. (Eddie Wilson – 0274 470 330)
THAT only in Ireland – May your home always be too small to hold all your friends.
THIS WEEK’S . . . Here and There is being rattled off in Taupo whilst attending the 90th annual North Island Marist Spillane Tournament.
AS THEY SAY . . . a wins a win and the come from behind 27-26 victory over Hutt OB Marist was a gutsy effort from a depleted Green Machine. Although the few loyal supporters who turned up at Owen Delaney Park were left a bit miffed that the Green Machine boys didn’t come and mingle with them at the aftermatch function.
IT WAS . . . a great day last Saturday for the Bank of NOB Marist Rugby Cricket. At the end of the day the following fines were handed out:- Rossco (Development Team assistant coach) $15.00, two dropped catches and a runout, Stew must’ve been worse than Rossco copping a $20.00 fine while Adam and Matty donated $5.00 each.
CRAZY AS IT . . . may seem there’s still been no directive from the NZRU as to what format this year’s Mitre 10 Cup is going to be. Usually by this time of the year the draw for the competition is out. The Magpies will have the Ranfurly Shield to defend in a few pre-season games prior to the Mitre 10 Cup too. Wouldn’t be great if they took it on the road for one of those games. I’m sure a place like Ruatoria would love to host challenge for the ‘Log of Wood’ between the Magpies and Ngati Porou East Coast.
FORMER MAGPIE . . . Ross Filipo was this week named as Head coach of the Mooloos. He replaces former Waikato stalwart Andrew Strawbridge after two years as his deputy. Filipo played his final season of rep rugby for Hawke’s Bay in 2016. The five game All Black (07-08) also tasted Super Rugby success too winning three titles with the Crusaders and one with the Chiefs.
FOLLOWING THE . . . final game of the Constellation Cup in Christchurch on Sunday arvo the Silver Ferns and the Diamonds had played each other 156 times. The Diamonds winning 97 and the Silver Ferns 57, there’s be two draws.
BLACK CAPS . . . new batting star Devon Conway despite living in Welly for three years had up until the final games of the T20 series against Australia never played at the Cake Tin.
THERE’S . . . a certain new Green Machine coach that’ll be celebrating another year in the 30s at the end of this week.
AND NOW . . . a something from the useless information file. 66 years ago tomorrow Elvis Presley signs a management contract with ‘Colonel’ Tom Parker, who had previously managed country stars Eddy Arnold and Hank Snow, and also the Great Parker Pony circus with one of the acts being a troupe of dancing chickens.
Cheers McGoo
THAT an important reminder to our New Zealand Marist affiliate clubs – If any of your players are on the move at any time, maybe a work transfer or a change to live in a new location we would appreciate if you notified us or the affiliate Marist club in the region they are going to so that the local club can get in touch with the player and invite them to ‘team up’ with them. They maybe even in the position to assist with employment and or accommodation. Make Sure you let your players know that they will be welcome to join an affiliate club in the area they are heading to.
THAT these are interesting times in early season rugby with the a new Super Rugby Under 20 tournament to be played in April. Hawkes Bay will have a foot in the pie so to speak with the pairing of Magpie front men in coach Mark Ozich and captain Ash Dixon in the driving seat as co-coaches of the Highlanders U20 team. The tournament which will be held in Taupo will double as a trial for the New Zealand U20 team. With the World Rugby Under 20 Championship that was to have been held in Italy mid-year it is now hoped that an Oceania tournament will be held.
THAT the 2022 91st Spillane Tournament will be centralised next year and will be played again in Taupo. This sensible idea will shorten the trip for teams to attend from throughout the North Island. And once the date has been finalised hopefully sooner than later, affiliate clubs will be able to apply in plenty of time for their accommodation and bus travel assistance through their normal funding charities.
THAT the following is another little Covid-19 gem…… ‘Day 7 of SOCIAL Distancing. Struck up a conversation with a spider today. Seems nice. He’s a web designer….’
++++ The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things.
THEY SAID IT
“Rugby is a game for big buggers. if you’re not a big bugger, you get hurt. I wasn’t a big bugger but i was a fast bugger and therefore I avoided the big buggers.”
Spike Milligan.
“Mum rings me a couple of times a week. She’s frustrated with the family being on Facebook.”
Highlanders first-five Mitch Hunt on quips at the Highlanders and himself from the commentators on social media.
“A massive thank you to the public and fans for all the support over years. To my many teammates, thanks for the lessons and help along the way. It wasn’t a perfect journey, but the lessons have helped shape me into the man I’m proud to be off the field today.”
Says Sonny Bill Williams as he steps away from the game.
“Rugby may have many problems, but the gravest is undoubtedly that of the persistence of summer.”
Chris Laidlaw.

The Leprauchan Comments
Paddy and Murphy are on a cruise.
Murphy says, It’s awfully quiet on deck tonight.
Paddy says, Sure everyone is probably watching the band.”
Murphy says, There isn’t a band playing tonight.
Paddy says, But I definitely heard some fecker say A band on ship
Paddy Irishman checks into a hotel for the first time in his life and goes up to his room.
Five minutes later he calls the desk and says, “Ya have given me a room with no exit. How do I leave?”
The desk clerk says, “Sir, that’s absurd.
Have you looked for the door?”
Paddy Irishman replies “Well, there’s one door that leads to the bathroom.
There’s a second door that goes into the closet.
And there’s a door I haven’t tried, but it has a ‘do not disturb’ sign on it.”
Paddy and Joseph were walking home from Mulligans Irish bar on Halloween night.
They decided to take a shortcut through the cemetery just for laughs.
Right in the middle of the cemetery, they were startled by a tap-tap-tapping noise coming from the misty shadows.
Trembling with fear, they found an old man with a hammer and chisel, chipping away at one of the headstones.
“Jaysus Man, ya frightened the life outa us”
Paddy called as he caught his breath.
“You scared us half to death — we thought you were a ghost!
What are you doing working here so late at night?” Joseph called.
“My friends are such fools!” the old man grumbled. “They misspelt my name and here I have to correct it!”
We look forward to seeing all rugby players, footballers, netballers, cricketers and softballers and friends at the clubrooms each Saturday – Pop in for cool Tui or two – Also bring along your mates for an Ale and a chat. All members and Friends Welcome …………. Ed
