The Future of the Whistle: Luke Rogan on MLR’s New Review System and the 6 Nations Stage

This week, we are joined by one of Major League Rugby’s most experienced officials, Luke Rogan. Fresh off a prestigious assignment refereeing the U20 6 Nations in Europe, Luke gives us a front-row seat to the atmosphere of international rugby and the unique pressure of managing the next generation of global stars on some of the game's most historic grounds. The conversation shifts to the cutting edge of the domestic game as we break down the brand-new MLR Referee Review System (RRS). Luke explains how this technology will function on the pitch and its goal of providing a safety net for officials without slowing down the fast-paced action fans love. We also take a look back at the law variations implemented last season to see which changes have truly improved the flow of the game. If you’ve ever wondered what goes on behind the whistle in a professional match, this is the episode for you. 🎧 Listen to this and previous episodes of US Rugby Happy Hour on Youtube and your favorite podcast player today! iHeart: bit.ly/3A43Tff Apple: bit.ly/3Uuj9u7 Spotify: bit.ly/3ZxjAa0 Youtube: https://bit.ly/3ZUs7oV Like, follow, and subscribe and please leave a comment!!
