It’s the final day of the Women’s Rugby World Cup in Belfast with the host nation’s Joy Neville taking charge of the big match of the day as New Zealand take on England. All the final standings have to be determined so there’s six matches to decide the final 12 positions.
In the Southern Hemisphere, Nigel Owens is now the man in charge of this week’s Australia v New Zealand match as the reshuffle caused by Jerome Garces injury concludes. Pascal Gaüzère is in Argentina as they host the South Africans.
In France, the new Top 14 season kicks off with Thomas Charabas refereeing last year’s Champions, Clermont away at Bordeaux-Bègles.
