It had been raining for three days without a break and as Ryan arrived at the rugby field he was almost certain that the game would be cancelled. The field had turned into a muddy bog with a layer of water a couple of inches deep making the pitch look more like a lake.
As Ryan approached the changing rooms he could hear voices of both teams; the game hadn't been cancelled and the teams were changing into their rugby kits. Ryan shrugged and began to get changed. Ryan was 6' tall with a medium build, he wasn't muscular, but he was toned. Ryan slipped on his shirt, a green rugby jersey with a white collar, which had been slightly ripped during the previous game. Ryan pulled up his black shorts and sat down on the bench.
Opposite to Ryan was a poster, "Referee Required For Rugby Game!". "Ah!", he remembered - that's why the game hadn't been cancelled, the new referee hadn't arrived, only the referee can cancel the game. The poster had been displayed around the village for the past week to recruit a new referee for today's game.
Ryan walked to the referee changing room to see if there was any sign of the new ref. The room was empty other than the referee uniform hanging on the wall. A bright electric blue rugby shirt with a large white collar which had 5 buttons down to the middle of the shirt. Shiny black shorts and blue knee high socks.
As Ryan turned to leave the room he heard footsteps approaching, but to his surprise, these were footsteps of high heels. Today's rugby game would have a female referee.
