Owen Doyle is a former International Rugby Union Referee, retiring in 1994. He was Director of Referees IRFU from 1995 to 2015 and Elite Referee Coach from 2015 to 2017. Now a rugby columnist with the Irish Times, Owen Doyle lives in Dublin.
Summary:
"Owen Doyle is an Irish Times columnist and former Irish rugby Test match referee. Here in his frank, revealing and often humorous memoir, 'The Ref's Call,' he gives a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the high-pressure world of international rugby. From the processes involved in becoming a referee, to officiating in the Five Nations, internationals and a World Cup, Doyle takes us through the most memorable matches of his career and how, following his retirement, he became instrumental in coaching the most successful generation of referees in the IRFU's history. Covering over 40 year of rugby, and written in his own inimitable style, Doyle looks at the challenges facing moder rugby, particularly the issues of concussion and dementia, to give a fascinating insight into the great game, told from a unique perspective." --Back cover.
