Prem agrees to revamp refereeing in boost for England’s Rugby World Cup hopes

Premiership Rugby has agreed to overhaul its refereeing interpretations for the upcoming season, with changes targeting the scrum and breakdown to better align club officiating with the international game. The move is designed to boost England head coach Steve Borthwick's World Cup preparations ahead of the tournament in Australia next year. The agreement was reached in part due to the absence of relegation from the Premiership for the first time this season, which created space for the new law interpretation framework.
