Jordan Way is an Australian professional rugby union referee.[1]
Refereeing career
Way has been a member of Rugby Australia's match officials panel since 2015, having previously played rugby union before injuring his collarbone.[2] He has been a Rugby sevens referee at the World Rugby Sevens Series since 2016, and hoped to officiate at the 2020 Olympic Games. However, in 2020, following the COVID-19 pandemic causing the cancellation of the 2020 Super Rugby season and regional tournaments being created in its place, Way made his Super Rugby refereeing debut, having previously only been an assistant in Super Rugby, in the match between the Force and Reds on 21 August 2020 in the 2020 Super Rugby AU competition.[3] He was appointed to the officiating list for the 2021 Super Rugby AU season in February 2021.[4] Way was appointed as an Assistant Referee to the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France
