Arrive at the pitch one hour prior to scheduled kick-off. Set up camp in a neutral location. Take a chair. Speak with the head coach of the home team to review the day's schedule and thank them for their efforts arranging the match.
Upon completion of equipment check and team discussion, hold meeting with team's half backs, tight five and any player (sup or other) who could play a front row position, followed by individual meeting with captains.
Captains Discussion
Before leaving meeting with each team, have coach provide:
Meet with the AT prior to the match to establish a protocol with them. The suggested protocol is the AT may come on the field anytime they deem necessary. Have a specific signal (3 whisle blasts) to ask the AT is he/she is needed immediately. It is the ref's responsibility to keep play/players away from the area. Play will be stopped as necessary for safety, but no later than the next stoppage.
