Referee Feedback Software for Rugby Union

    SportsGauge helps Rugby Union coaches and observers provide structured feedback for referees and assistant referees. Record observations from any device, share practical coaching points by email and keep a record of development across your group.

    Forms tailored to Rugby Union referees and assistant referees

    Customise feedback forms around your organisation’s coaching framework and the roles and experience levels of your officials. Observers can record ratings and coaching notes about scrum and lineout management, tackle and ruck decisions, mauls, advantage and communication, using criteria suited to Rugby Union.

    Specific match observations with coaching context

    Reference particular situations during a match to explain the observation behind a coaching point. Notes about scrum and lineout management, tackle and ruck decisions, mauls, advantage and communication give officials context to revisit with their coach, rather than relying on an overall rating alone.

    Optional review before email delivery

    Managers can review an observer’s feedback and add coaching guidance before it is delivered. Your referees and assistant referees receive feedback by email in a consistent, mobile-friendly or desktop format, whether the observations were recorded at the ground or afterwards.

    Follow development across your Rugby Union group

    Keep observations together so coaches can revisit individual progress and recurring coaching themes. Stored feedback, observation statistics and group-wide trend analysis support development conversations and help managers plan future coaching sessions.
