On Target, With The Biffer!
Rugby Referee. Thoughts, musings, anecdotes and interpretations on the laws (aka Rules) of the game of Rugby Union
About Me
- Name: The Biffer
- Location: Stamford, Connecticut, United States
During the week I spent hours plugging away at a computer as a systems consultant. This to pay the bills, my major passion (aside from my adorable wife and daughter of course) is Rugby. I played rugby from the age of 5, growing up in England. This was back in the days before liability and excessive administrative oversight altered the landscape of the sport. Back then we played full contact from Day 1, these days the kids don't get to tackle each other until they are 10 or 11. Anyway, slight tangent. I am a referee in the New England region of the US. This blog will typically focus on some kind of refereeing or rugby topic, but will likely stray into random personal anecdotes on a regular basis. (The Biffer is an amalgamated nickname. In school in England some of the guys called me "Biffa". This was adapted to "The Biffer" by my former teammates at the Connecticut Yankees RFC. On Target is a reference to the fact that as a player I often appeared lying in the mud with an unidentifed injury, the suspicion being that a sniper had been involved)
