Best Answer

The referee or assistant has seen an offense committed by the defending team (the team without the ball) The referee will allow play to continue to give the attacking team (the one with the ball) an advantage , basically to use the ball effectively where the offence has in part stopped that happening. If there is no advantage seen the game is stopped and a penalty for the offence is awarded where the original offence took place

What is the white card offense in rugby?

This is a new Referee issued card being tested in the Southern Hemisphere Super Rugby. From February 2012 it starts with referees armed with an additional white card to alert the citing commissioner 'when an act of foul play has occurred but the referee is not sure if a red card is warranted, or is unsure of the identity of the offender'. This will mean that hidden foul acts will be investigated and the offenders taken out of the game.
