Harry Groves (2nd from the left side on picture) and his three referee colleagues used AXIWI during the Men’s U19s final at the Portugal Youth International Festival 2023 in Europe. Last weekend, the tournament was held on 1 and 2 April in Lisbon.
The 4 rugby referees were provided with AXIWI by 7s Referee. The referees who were involved, on the picture:
- Dean Crossley – AR;
- Harry Groves – Referee;
- Ollie Robertson – AR;
- Henry Pearson – 4th Official.
The AXIWI units were fantastic, allowing for seamless communications between the team of 4, allowing for effective decision-making. We wouldn’t have been able to work at the level we do without AXIWI!
