Premiership's First Female Ref Laughs as Player Calls Her "Sir"
Premiership's First Female Ref Laughs as Player Calls Her "Sir" During Match
On Saturday, Sara Cox became the first female to referee a Premiership rugby match - and she revealed a lighthearted incident with a player BBC News 1 OCT 2021 Sara Cox saw the funny side and laughed off being called ‘sir’ by a player after she became the first female referee of a Premiership Rugby match. Cox officiated Harlequins’ 35-29 win over Worcester on Saturday, and revealed a lighthearted moment when a player accidentally called her ’sir’ during the game at The Stoop. The term is the traditional way a rugby player addresses the referee in a match. The weekend, the players had decided between themselves they were going to call me ‘ref’, which negated everything,” Cox said. “More often than not it was just ‘ref’, then one of them said ‘sir’ and he corrected himself. Sara Cox made history during Harlequins' win over Worcester as she became the first female to officiate a Premiership Rugby match “I said ‘look I'm really not precious, you're more than welcome to call me ‘sir’, it's no problem at all. I'm really not precious about that, it's just a line of communication, open it, it's respectful, that's all I care about. “For me ‘sir’ is not about gender, it's about opening a line of communication that's respectful. That's what I find is really important. “I don't want to force them to say something they're not used to.” Cox insisted she doesn’t mind what she is referred to as long as the respect is there. “At the end of the day, when they speak to me, it's to make a point or ask a question, I don't want to lose that, I don't want them to get so tongue-tied over what do I call you?” continued Cox.
