The Rugby Football Union (RFU) will trial a "ref-cam" for the first time later today during the Championship tie between Newcastle Falcons and London Scottish.
Match official Matt Carley will have a camera attached to his shirt to show television viewers close-ups of the on-field action.
Referees at televised matches are already connected to microphones which help broadcast the dialogue between players and officials.
In both union and league rugby codes, cameras are also located in the dressing rooms.
RFU official Ed Morrison has backed the camera's use on the field However, this is the first time a camera has been used in this way.
Ed Morrison, the RFU's head of elite referee development, said he was impressed by the quality of the footage in a training ground trial.
"I was gobsmacked really by the quality of the footage that came from it," he said.
"The quality of the filming from this one little camera that was worn on the chest of the referee blew me away really.
The camera will give viewers a brand new aspect on matches "From that point on I thought: 'There's something in this for us.'"
However former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher said football should not follow suit.
"I don't want the general public to listen in to conversations between referees and players on the field," he said.
"There's a lot of interaction, there's a lot of man management, you'd be fascinated how much players talk to referees and referees talk to players.
"That's a way of dealing with them, it's a very effective tool that the referee uses to keep control of the matches."
