The updated guide to Scottish Rugby’s discipline rules is now available to download from http://www.scottishrugby.org/values/discipline.

Please note additional steps are being taken to combat the abuse of match officials. Any such abuse is wholly unacceptable and will not be tolerated, irrespective of whether it is on the field by a player or off the field by players, coaches or club officials.

Any instance of on-field abuse will be dealt with severely by match officials and those involved in any subsequent disciplinary process, while any episode of off-field abuse will be treated as being of an equivalent gravity to on-field abuse.

Further information from the SRU is available to download below.

Banff Rugby Club fully supports the SRUs stance on abuse of match officials and asks all players and members to read and comply with the guidance.
