Sara Cox’s Laws of the Game

Scaz & Mo are Elma-less again, but this time, they’re joined by the trailblazing referee, most capped female match official, & newly awarded MBE, Sara Cox.
With the new Whistleblowers documentary, Hollie Davidson’s Men’s Six Nations appearance & Aimee Barrett-Theron’s viral ‘I'm not mad, just really disappointed’ moment, refereeing is all over our news feeds right now.
Coxy sheds light on how tough it can be in the middle with such grey areas in rugby’s law book, how much she loves coming into England camp to work with the Red Roses & her FIVE hour long kangaroo court session in New Zealand two years ago.
Season 4 of The Good, The Scaz & The Rugby is in partnership with Vodafone UK.

​​Sickening to hear about the abuse. For me seeing Sara's name down as a ref on any game really cheers me - as know that game is going to be allowed to flow. She's one of the very best

10/10 episode - epic shift from Scaz & Mo. Sara is an awesome guest, ref & human, stacks of insights, bloody hilarious & the game is a better place for having her ref in it!

[@bluesun2215]

Does Sara's humanity stretch as far as Gaza and the slaughter of thousands of civilian children and women, given her status as MBE?

[@user-jy2lq1ho1u]

Yet another outstanding interview, first class. Thank you for all you do, and of course Coxy is a legend.

Great episode, I love that in rugby, players can sit down with refs and have a discussion which is not only open and honest but fun and that respect is shown between the players and the ref. I can't imagine this taking place with premier league soccer/football players and refs. Great work Scaz and Mo, that person who sometimes presents can't remember her name😊 better get back soon or she won't be needed, 10 out of 10 for this show, well done.

Solid 10 out of 10, that was such an interesting episode, went by in a flash! 👏🏾

[@jonchess8844]

Fabulous interview. Sara is a star for sure 👍👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@kathybryan3374]

Another inspirational episode, thank you.

[@neill392]

I'm guessing this was filmed before the event, but, was hoping the "I'm not mad with you, just disappointed" ref's comment from the U20's Eng V Wal game might have come up in discussion.

[@brianbattle2290]

This is the best interview enjoyed every moment. Best vibe out there..

[@suckers0]

Great chat. Just needs that Whistleblowers documentary to be screened more widely to highlight the issues faced by refs/officials.

[@nomthagray5027]

Coxy is such a great personality to have reffing in rugby. She loves the game, lets it flow and tells a great tale. Great shout on this pod - I loved it!❤❤❤

[@stephenbrown321]

Think that rugby referees have one of the hardest jobs in sport. I am amazed that they have the guts to go out there and do the job. I know if I was to give it a try I would end up trying to send the crowd off!

[@paulcoomber4009]

Well done Scaz and Mo you did a superb job interviewing the brilliant Sarah. She is such a good referee and an entertaining, knowledgeable lovely person

[@quazichimp]

Best Scaz and Moe yet! and Sara is an absolute gem. Thanks for putting a human face on rugby, it gives😊 the game more dimension.

[@trevormorgan1205]

Excellent episode! Thanks so much to Scaz & Mo for a brilliant interview with Sara. Really interesting and entertaining. Was sickening to hear of the awful abuse that she has received - what is wrong with people? It's just a bloody game!

[@dereksaints]

Excellent episode, thoroughly enjoyed it, Coxy is a great ref

[@davidmoss1896]

Brilliant episode and great to hear this from a referee side as well and the fact that even the refs are involved with the red roses as well

[@johnmartin7370]

I just Love Sara Cox. Brilliant Ref, Legend Human.

[@robw7676]

Listened to Sara on the ref mic at a Northampton game recently, very good ref.

[@mattlinden4123]

Just watched the final again and NZ dominated and there was nothing that Sara got wrong that effected the game's outcome. It was a well-controlled game. Being a rugby Ref is very hard and no ref ever goes out to ruin a game. Sure, we make mistakes but so do players and coaches. Sara is a great ref and needs to be applauded and praised for what she does. Nobody deserves the type of abuse Sara described for doing a job.

[@666666graham]

Sara is a real beauty with a good sense of humour! As a rugby fan I have no worries if she is the ref at my teams matches! What would have been interesting to find out though (& Scaz/Mo slipped up not asking this) what happens to refs at their gatherings when mistakes are pointed out to them! What's their punishment? How many mistakes are allowed before they lose getting appointments etc or end up running the line again? Always great to hear rugby chat & behind the scenes stuff - keep it coming & thanks!!

[@vernon83]

Coxy you are a gem of a person. Love it when you are reffing the boys at Franklin’s Gardens. Scaz & Mo, excellent show 🫶🏼 I think you did a great job without Elma

[@dereksaints]

100% agree, coys

[@paulwood9466]

People really need to take a long hard look at themselves making comments like this. These people really need to be held accountable!!!! Keep up the good work 👏

[@ianunwin]

Great episode

[@bluesun2215]

The 'Empire', of which Sara Cox is a 'Member', continues to abstain from voting for a ceasefire against the genocide bneing committed in Gaza. In her role as an 'referee', how would Sara care to adjudicate today?

[@GlynBartlett]

I actively seek out the matches that Sara refs, quality!!

[@richarddunnett4436]

Well done the Girls done good😊😊
