The iRB have unveiled the match official appointments for the Autumn international series – mainly where the southern hemisphere heads north for some cooler weather.
Nigel Owens continues his mission to hit 50 official IRB caps, with his Ireland v New Zealand fixture helping him to 48. On twitter this evening he outlined that two previous games (Portugal v Georgia and another) didn’t qualify for official caps. He’ll, no doubt have to wait for the 6 Nations to clock up that particular achievement.
It’s pleasing to see some up and coming officials appointed to Tier 2 tests, particularly Stuart Berry (SARU), JP Doyle, Greg Garner and Luke Pearce (all RFU), Mike Brown (NZRU), Dudley Phillips (IRFU), Leighton Hodges and Ian Davies (both WRU) and Achi Pastrana (UAR).
Congratulations to all.
