- Hollie Davidson and her all female referee team made a little bit of sports and rugby history when they became the first all female team to officiate a men's international match between Portugal and Italy. We went behind the scenes for this historic moment!

What an achievement! Who are your favourite referees in history? Let us know below!
Nigel Owens, obviously a legend.
Nigel Owens and Hollie Davidson are always going to be top tier
Sara Cox, Tony Spreadbury and Nigel Owens
Clive Norling, Peter Fitzgibbon, Jim Fleming, David Burnett and of course Nigel Owens. Clive Norling ignited my interest in refereeing and I really enjoyed his comments, as did the players!
Has to be Clive Norling.
As long as they meet the required standards to referee their gender should be irrelevant 👍🏻
Hollie Davidson is an excellent referee. Great to see her officiate 7's and 15's matches, both women and mens games.
Future of rugby is bright with more players and referees from different gender and countries.
When is Davidson reffing a senior men's 6 Nations match? She is significantly better than the vast majority of current refs.
Wonderful to see you’ve made it.
What a moment for Women. For Rugby!
"... when we turned up here, at three o'clock my legs were like absolute jelly." (Hollie Davidson)
Definitely, sometimes the firmest steps are taken with trembling legs.
Congratulations, referee team! Well done!
I'm a simple man.
I see Sara Cox.
I click like.
This is history for World Rugby
Well done ladies I salute you.
Let's be fair, as long as they can do better than the current wales v south africa matches (carley) then it's all perfectly fine! Will be nice to have more refs available from each country for matches and more competition between them so incompetent refs stop getting the biggest matches
no brainer.
Why
We had the privilege to have Hollie and crew at our Canada vs Belgium game in Halifax on july 2nd!
Had a hot mic and really added to the tv viewing experience!!!
honestly her control of the game was exceptional!

Brilliant! I remember seeing one of these with Nigel Owens and enjoyed it - this one has that extra historical aspect to it, and really nice to see having followed all these 4 for years. ;-)
Were they any good? That’s all that matters
Miss the days when rugby didn't feel the need to virtue signal.
Brilliant more please
This is great stuff.
I understand everything but one thing , why can't men referee men's games and women do women's games?
I mean is it not apparent that the weight , speed etc ratios are far different for men and women?
I would not expect a man to understand the intensity of a tackle by a female on a female feels like and for a fair game I would think that women referees are suited more to it.
But does not the same apply for men's games ?
I guess that it does not matters as long as the decisions are correct. But at every game we see that just because of the instant replay feature, a tackle was judged as dangerous/foul play and resulted in a yellow or red. Wouldn't appointing females make the dependence on instant replays much more important? .
There would be no women's game if you went by that mentality as there aren't enough female ref's to officiate the women's game. No matter the gender, the refs are educated exactly the same so it shouldn't matter what gender they are or how a ref identifies as long as they ref the game within the laws of the sport and get the calls right. No ref, gets every call right in every game no matter if they are male or female hence the need for sideline and TMO. It's a combined effort especially when it comes to foul play. That's the way it should be. It's been mixed for years now and there hasn't been an issue so having an all female team shouldn't be an issue.
Because that is a sexist view, there is no reason that gender needs to affect people refereeing a game and refereeing should be open to everyone which will grow our sport. Gender does not affect their ability to learn about the rules, and officiate a match.
You talk about feeling the intensity of a tackle, but referees don't know what it feels like to be tackled by an international player trying to land a decisive hit. Do you think in training a referee would ask Itoje to come tackle him ten times so he knows what it feels like? Even if they play themselves the level of difference between amateur and international is massive.
A dangerous tackle isn't because of the intensity of a tackle, its due to the poor technique and the carding can be affected by what happens to the player. This is why if you look at the laws of the game, intensity isn't mentioned when talking about tackles (only about Xrugby and reducing intensity).
I really don't understand your last argument at all, refs are watching instant replays because there is something they missed, not because a tackle was harder/weaker than they thought. its usually cause an arm wasn't wrapped, or was higher than thought. Again gender plays no role here and we should be open to growing our game and having it open to all
Understand everything but one thing? Hoes on to list multiple things that also have no bearing on a refs performance as a ref
Im simpler qualified refs referee games that need refereeing.
Hollie knows what it feels like - she was an under 20 international and on the way to selection for the full national side when an injury ended her playing career.Howver that does not matter - she knows the rules and interprets them correctly for gane she is refereeing.
👍👍👍👍👍💐💐💐👏👏👏👏👏🏉💛🏉💛🏉💛
Thank you girls for putting in all the hard work! It is wonderful to see the fresh and fair refereeing from you girls in 2023. in contrast to the homosexual hierarchy that has caused so much damage.
All excellent refferees. Like the way the men give them all full respect they deserve
CONGRATS to Hollie and her crew! I hope that the other 2 assistant Referees get a shot to be Referees!
Well done Ref's. Great step forward for female official's. It shouldn't matter how anyone identifies, a ref is a ref and being a good ref is what's important. Officiating the game within the laws of the sport. Not alone was this big for rugby, it should also be a big step for all sport
Quite honestly, we don’t care who officiated the game, as long as they got it right 😎. Perhaps we would draw the line if a batch of maleshe’s got involved in the officiating 😂 😂.
Gogogo ladies !!!!
And that would matter why?
Good one dude, maleshe’s reffing rugby matches 😉….
@@polobhuilean5217 yeah if they’re up to standard why not?
🆒‼️😱
