Leinster referees chairman wary of online rules test

Leinster referees chairman Tom Quigley has questioned the GAA’s plan to put rules tests for match officials online.

Quigley doesn’t see the point of such an exercise when referees might be able to access the official guide in completing the examinations.

He wrote: “There is a plan at national level in the longer term that all rules tests will be done online by computer, in the comfort of the referee’s own home, and with access to the rule book if required (though the test is time- limited).
