Appointments for 1-3 March

Derek Summers, Joy Neville and Wayne Barnes referee this weekend

Here are the referee, AR and TMO appointments from around the world. On the international stage, we have the Americas Rugby Championship – where Argentina lead the tournament heading to Canada where Derek Summers (pictured left) of the US is in charge. If Argentina win in Langford, they’ll secure the Championship title for a second time. The World 7s men’s series resumes in Las Vegas alongside one of the worlds biggest social 7s competitions.

Next level down, we’re into week three of the Super Rugby 2019 – with Jaco Peyper returning from a quiet afternoon in Cardiff to referee the Sharks v Stormers in Natal – and the Pro14 where Joy Neville (pic centre) picks up another fixture as Cardiff Blues host the South Africans of the Southern Kings. Our latest podcast guest, Andrew Brace takes on the equally taxing trip to Zebre. We then have Wayne Barnes in his 210th Premiership match in England, and a host of rugby throughout England, France and Malaysia!

Enjoy whatever you’re involved in this weekend!
