• 'Check Corner Post and Grounding'
• 'Check Grounding'
• 'Check Obstruction'
• 'Check Double Movement'
• 'Identify Tackle Count'

• On-Field officials are to be aware of the vicinity of players and choose words accordingly

• When checking tries, on-field officials are not to offer opinion to video referee, however the referee may point out something he has seen on the screen
  'ARE YOU HAPPY WITH THE ON SIDE'

• When communicating with the Video Referee on incidents of Foul Play the use of delaying strategies is critical

• Check injured player

• Do not enter into a meeting with Players/Sideline Official

• The Central Referee should be the only one in discussion with video ref. Sideline officials are not to ask for replays, but may bring an incident to referee and video referee attention

  e.g. 'I DIDN'T SEE POINT OF CONTACT'

• All match officials should endeavour to maintain the use of the standard vocab as outlined in this guide.
