provide 15 players (including three trained front rowers) to start the match,

4. WEARING OF MOUTHGUARDS
NZ Rugby again will be adopting a strong stance re the wearing of mouth guards in 2021.
The wearing of a mouth guard has been compulsory at all levels of New Zealand Domestic
Rugby since 1998. In previous years this law has not been adhered to.
The safety of players is paramount and this DSLV (Domestic Safety Law Variation) is to be
strictly enforced in 2021.
Match Officials are to apply the following actions on players observed not wearing a mouth
guard:
Application and Enforcement of the new DSLV.
• The first player observed not wearing a mouth guard is to be penalised under
Law 9.7.a (A player must not intentionally infringe any law of the game) and will
be issued a Yellow Card.
• The player yellow carded can return to the field of play upon expiry of the 10
minute (2 minutes in Sevens) Temporary Suspension period, but only if the player
is wearing a mouth guard.
6|Page• If the offending player is unable to return wearing a mouth guard, then that
player can be replaced.
• This will be deemed to be a permanent replacement and the offending player
will not be permitted to return to the field of play under any circumstances.
• If subsequent players from the same team are observed not wearing a mouth
guard these players will be issued a Red Card in accordance with Law 9.8 (A team
must not repeatedly commit the same offence)
• Any player issued with a Red Card for failing to wear a mouthguard will receive
an additional automatic one match suspension.
If a player produces a medical certificate stating, they should not wear a mouth guard that
player will be exempt from the requirement. The medical certificate must be presented to
the referee prior to the match.
5. BLUE CARD
The Blue Card system will operate in the Competition.
The Blue Card Concussion Initiative is an “On-Field” process introduced to enhance player
safety and welfare. It enables the referee to initiate a formal process when a player sustains a
head and/or concussion or suspected concussion injury during a match. If the referee believes
a player has been concussed, or suspects a player has been concussed, the referee must show
a Blue Card to that player, and that player will be required to leave the playing area. This player
cannot return and play in that match.
Further, the player shown a Blue Card should not return to train and must not return to play
in any future match without first meeting the requirements of the return to play protocol, as
set out in Appendix 1.
In situations where a player sustains a head and/or concussion injury at training or such injury
is noticed after a match, team management must adopt normal care and responsibility for
player safety and welfare by implementing the Graduated Return to Play practices and
procedures detailed in Appendix 1.
OFF-FIELD FOLLOW UP PROCESSES/PROCEDURES - REFEREE AND TEAM COACH
Issuing of Blue Card (by Referee) initiates
a) Identification of concussed player on Provincial Union official team sheet.
b) Provincial Union will forward a letter to the Club and player confirming that the player
has been stood down from playing rugby because of a concern regarding concussion.
This letter will outline the procedure to facilitate the player’s return to training and
playing.
c) Provincial Union will enter player and incident details into the Blue Card Concussion
Initiative Player register.
OFF-FIELD FOLLOW UP PROCESSES/PROCEDURES – PLAYER
The issuing of a Blue Card by the Referee initiates implementation of the Graduated Return to
Play (GRTP) outlined in Appendix 1.
7|PageThe following specific details are noted:
• All players suspected of being concussed should not drink alcohol after the game.
• It is strongly recommended that a suspected concussed player seek medical attention
within 24 hours.
• Having rested until they have no on-going symptoms; and
• Having completed the minimum rest period from playing; and
• Having undertaken a Graduated Return to Play Protocol, and;
• Having seen a medical doctor to obtain a clearance to resume playing.
As a Blue Carded player, you must return to play via NZ Rugby’s GRTP process. This involves
a mandatory stand down period. Mandatory Stand Down Period for Blue Carded Players:
• U19 Players – 23 days • 19+ Players – 21 days
• The player must produce a signed copy of the required Medical Clearance from a
medical doctor.
• This must be provided to the Provincial Union office at least 24 hours before
scheduled match in which a return to play is planned.
• Your Provincial Union will reimburse you for any non-ACC cost involved in one visit to
a doctor. Please contact your club if you require assistance with this process.
5.1 SANCTIONS FOR BREACHING BLUE CARD PROTOCOL

not cleared to play are:
(i) 4 Competition points, plus;
(ii) a $500 fine for the Club, plus;

allowing the breach to occur.

http://www.canterburyrugby.co.nz/community/canterbury-rugby-app-1
13. JUDICIAL MATTERS-
All Judicial procedures are conducted in accordance with the NZR Rules for Disciplinary
proceedings 2021.
All Referees now have the capability to lodge reports using the game day App. If not
they should carry with them, Ordering Off Report forms, Sin Bin forms and Touch Judge
report forms so that they have the paperwork to complete their duty where necessary
on the day the event occurred.
The Referee should notify the CEO/Administrator of the Union in which the match was
played on the day of the Ordering Off and, if possible, a copy of the Ordering Off report
to the Union CEO/Administrator of the player concerned, otherwise the report should
be in the hands to the Union CEO in which the match is played by 12 noon the following
day. Given the nature of the Competition involving 3 different Unions, the prompt
notification to Union’s allows them to commence processing of reports and proceed
arrangements earlier in the week following the match than might otherwise be the
case.
If a referee is a visiting referee to your Union, he should notify the Union and complete
the necessary forms/reports before he travels home. These can be faxed, emailed or
delivered to the Union CEO/Administrator or given to a visited Union referee’s
member who is at the same venue, to pass on to the Union CEO that evening or by 12
noon the next day.
12 | P a g eFor the avoidance of doubt, ultimately the requirements of the NZR Black Book on
deadlines shall take precedence. i.e., Reports or complaints must be in the hands of
the CEO/Administrator within 48 hours of the match, unless leave for an extension is
approved by the Union’s Complaints Review Officer. Such approval must be sought via
the Union’s CEO/Administrator.
If a player is Ordered Off in a Union where he does not reside, he will be subject to the
judicial procedures that apply in the Union in which the match was played. The
referee's report will be forwarded to a Complaints Review Officer of that Union who
will determine whether a hearing should be held, or whether an alternative two-
match stand down procedure will apply.
If the player, or player's Club, wishes to plead not guilty or believes a suspension of
less than two weeks would be appropriate, the CEO of the Union of where the game
was played must be notified within 48 hours of the conclusion of the match so that a
Judicial Committee hearing can be held. The player and his club will be notified of the
relevant details and a copy of the Ordering Off report will be attached. All hearings will
be run in accordance with the NZRU Disciplinary Rules 2022 (a copy is available from
your Union Office). Earlier notice than 48hrs if a hearing is requested would be greatly
appreciated.
The Union within whose boundaries a Match, under Rule 4, is played shall have
jurisdiction for any disciplinary proceedings arising from or in connection with that
Match. Where the Player or Person subject to disciplinary proceedings is a member of
or associated with a Club affiliated to a Union other than the one in whose boundaries
the Match is played, the disciplinary proceedings can, with the written agreement of
both Unions, be transferred to the Union to which the Player's or Person's Club is
affiliated ("the Home Union"). For the avoidance of doubt, if both Unions do not agree
to move the disciplinary proceedings to the Union to which the Player's or Person's
Club is affiliated, the disciplinary proceedings shall be dealt with by the Union in whose
boundaries the Match was played.
If a player fails to attend the Judicial Hearing as set down, they cannot play again until
he has attended a Judicial Hearing.
Sin Bin (Temporary Suspension) Reports-
Must be with the Union CEO/Administrator within 48 hours of the event occurring.
Two Sin Bin Reports
A Player Temporarily Suspended (Sin Binned) on two occasions during a playing
season in Matches for which any Union has jurisdiction shall be advised in writing by
the CEO of his Union that in the event he is Temporarily Suspended on any further
occasion during the same playing season in any Match for which any Union has
jurisdiction he will be subject to an automatic suspension of one week (which will
equate to one Match) to be applied from the week immediately following third
Temporary Suspension.
13 | P a g eThree Sin Bin Reports
A Player Temporarily Suspended on three occasions during the same playing season in
Matches for which any Union has jurisdiction, and having received the notification
required by Rule 35 of the NZR Black Book, shall be automatically suspended from all
rugby for a period of one week (which will equate to one Match) with the suspension
to be applied to the next match immediately following the match in which the third
Temporary Suspension was issued. The CEO of the Union shall advise the Player and
his Club or other rugby organisation of the one-week suspension in writing. This
automatic suspension is subject to the right of the Player to request a hearing under
Rule 37 of the NZR Black Book.
Complaints (Misconduct)
Complaints regarding Misconduct must be received by Union CEO within 48 hours of
the match being played. They must be made in accordance with the requirements set
out in Part 5 of the NZR Black Book. All details must be correct and
players/officials/other person’s names must be correct. Judicial Review Officer will
review the complaint and Union CEO will notify the Club, player and official if further
action is to be taken and when.
All teams should be aware that the Combined Competitions Committee takes a very
dim view of any foul play. In serious instances, such as all-in brawls, referee abuse, or
the abuse of participants, any teams found guilty are likely to be liable to substantial
fines and/or loss of competition points while individuals could be subject to substantial
suspensions as outlined in the "NZRU Disciplinary Rules - the Black Book " Sections 9/10.
15. ADVERSE WEATHER OR GROUND CONDITIONS PRIOR TO MATCH DAY
If the venue of a match or matches is unavailable due to adverse ground conditions or
for any other reason prior to the day of the match, it shall be the responsibility of the
"home" Club to advise the Competition Management Committee, the visiting Club and
the Referee(s), by noon on the day prior to the match.
The Competition Management Committee in consultation with Clubs involved shall
then direct as follows:
(i) The match/matches be played at a suitable alternative ground on the scheduled
day
(ii) If no alternative ground is available, the match or matches must be played on
the Tuesday immediately following the postponed match/matches unless both
Clubs agree to an alternative day/evening in the week immediately following
the postponed match. The Competition Management Committee will have the
final decision re any arrangements over the playing of matches.
(iii) If it is not possible to play the postponed match or matches, the Competition
Management Committee shall determine the status of the un- played match
or matches and award competition points at its discretion.
14 | P a g e16. MATCHES NOT PLAYED, OR SHORTENED BECAUSE OF ADVERSE WEATHER, OR OTHER
EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES
(i) A referee should only allow a match to start where there is a reasonable
prospect that a full match (80 mins) can be played.
(ii) To constitute a match a minimum of 40 minutes continuous playing time must
be played for the result to be deemed valid.
(iii) Where a referee determines a match may be played but conditions deteriorate
to the point that the referee deems it is no longer safe to continue playing, he
may call the game off at the point.
(a) If there has been 40 minutes played, the result will stand subject to the
Final decision on the status of the game by the Competition
Management Committee.
(b) If there has not been 40 minutes played- it is deemed that no match has
taken place. The match or matches must be played on the Tuesday
immediately following the postponed match/matches unless both Clubs
agree to alternative day/evening in the week immediately following the
postponed match. The Competition Management Committee will have
the final decision re any arrangements over the playing of matches.
(c) If it is not possible to play the postponed match or matches, the
Competition Management Committee shall determine the status of the
unplayed match or matches and award competition points at its
discretion or cancel the match or matches.
(iv) The Committee will consider the match results in the context of all matches in
the competition round being played so that the competition is not adversely
affected by some matches being played and some not.
(v) The Committee will also endeavour to ensure fairness to all participants in the
competition and that individual Clubs do not gain unfair advantage from
situations, which may arise out of the circumstances around the playing or not
playing of matches due to adverse weather or other exceptional circumstances.
17. APPOINTMENT OF REFEREES
For 2021 a Division One Panel has been selected. The Combined Executive of the
