Ruck and Maul

A rugby referee was speaking to a group of Student referees. He was one of the most respected officals in the world of rugby and had managed many International fixtures throughout the world.

He was talking about rucks and mauls and that some times it is hard to see everything that goes on around the ball. He said that it was sometimes impossible to see whats going on under all the bodys and no matter how close you look, still sometimes youll havbe no idea what goes on.

He Suggested to the students that maybe the best way to refferee a ruck or maul is to step back 2 or 3 paces. This gives you a view of the whole situation and rather than try and look for a infringment in the inside you could be better of looking for the ones on the outside.

This guy could have easily been speaking to a church conrigation as what he was saying makes sence in most situations.

We can get hung up on little things that annoy us, thing that maybe dont really matter in the grand scheme of things. What people say, what people do, what they have or dont have.

Sometimes stepping back and taking a wider view can be much better than trying to sort the little things. Like maybe looking at the future and the consiquences of our actions.

Maybe rather than chasing and running round trying to sort or change little things in life is not a proative as stepping back and seeing the things that really matter.
