Possible Storms predicted on Friday, what is the policy on inclement weather?

[Egan]

Hey guys, Possible Thunderstorms are predicted this Friday Night (I am undercover, so won't effect me) what is the policy in regards to whether or not there is lightning strikes?

Does the game stop play?

What is the policy if Lightning comes close to the stadium?

Thanks very much for any help.

There is nothing specific in the IRB's Laws of Rugby.

There maybe an Australian Rugby Union specfic policy on it tho

Interesting, because I thought all codes would have updated their policy, after a soccer game in South Africa had about 3 players struck by lightning during a soccer game.

AFL was criticised for not calling the players off the ground when a Thunderstorm was periously close to Telstra Stadium for a Swans v Eagles final a few years back, with lightning strikes very close to the stadium

Lets hope nothing happens, but its a worry that they have no policy.

I think we are pretty safe given that it is a weather forecast - since when do they get the timing right

Actually when caught in a lighting storm you SHOULD hold your one iron direct to sky, because everyone knows that not even the almighty can hit a one iron!!!

...and hold your "I HAVE FAITH" sign to the sky, it might keep off the rain
