Chosen by Scottish Rugby
In Nov 2009 Scottish Rugby chose to upgrade to whostheref.com from their previous preferred supplier, American based assignbyweb.net.The new appointments system went live on 4th Jan 2010 and has since been used to successfully manage all appointments throughout the country, from International Tests to junior rugby.
Former International Referee Jim Fleming: "It was a godsend to go into partnership with WTR after our previous provider went into liquidation. We in Scotland have discovered that not only is WTR very people friendly in its application, but that it ticks all the boxes we require to make the appointment of our match officials a straightforward task. WTR has been welcomed not only by all our match official but also by the clubs we serve. Rather than being a "fait accompli" WTR continues to work with the SRU to provide additional enhancements to cover amongst other things as report writing and disciplinary matters." J Fleming July 2010.
Jim is currently the referee's High Performance Manager for the Scottish Rugby Union.
