The Ref Zone: Rugby Referee Finds True Use Of Cricket Pitch

Cody Kuxmann is a Referee at the London Society Of Rugby Football Union Referees, while studying International Relations at Richmond, The American International University in London. He lives in Richmond Upon Thames but hails from Green Bay, Wisconsin.

LONDON, ENGLAND – This last week was fairly boring – I had nothing to do up till the weekend.  So, I ended up watching some different sports – primarily cricket – for about an hour and then thought: ‘Wow! This is soooo interesting! I’m going to watch this for five days and have nothing to do…’ (There is NO sarcasm in that statement).  Anyways flipping through I watched a little bit of Rugby League, but then I found the true use for a cricket field… Aussie Rules Football.

Watching Aussie Rules was a wonderful experience.  They hit each other, it’s high-scoring and they kick the ball a lot.  I was a fullback when I played.  I mean, it’s a fast-moving sport where the referee does nothing – I think – except for funnily throw the ball in to restart play.

Personally I loved it here’s a great video on what Aussie Rules is:

So after rugby what’s your sport of choice?

P.s… I’d get flogged by the powers that be if I didn’t show you this; Aussie Rules as experienced founders/partners at MeetTheMatts.com:
