Australia National Match Officials Team for 2018 announced

The 2018 Rugby Australia National Referees Squad has been revealed. This weekend, Sydney plays host to the pre-season camp at Manly’s Q station and will be the first time the 2018 squad will assemble.

New Referees Head Coach, the former Super Rugby Player Mitch Chapman, will lead an intense two-day camp and can be expected to provide a different perspective for the upcoming season.

The National Match Official team, including Queensland’s Nic Berry (left), will hit the ground running with the Sydney 7’s next weekend, a new Super Rugby format in February and 6 Nations in March.
