I am delighted to inform you of an exciting new IRB web based product which goes live today. The new site www.irblaws.com is an interactive website which teaches and tests the Laws of the game. We are convinced that this tool will revolutionize Rugby Law education.

    • All 22 laws
    • 7s and U19 variations
    • Referee signals
    • Video tests
  • The test can be taken over multiple visits.
  • On completion users can download an awareness certificate
  • Access to the site is free to everyone
  • Registration is required only when users want to undertake tests
