In today’s episode, we speak to Alhambra Nievas, World Rugby’s Referee Development Manager who joins me to talk about the recent High Performance Women’s Camp at Stellenbosch, South Africa which brought together high ranking players, coaches, match officials and strength & conditioning to further the women’s game.
We take a look back at Ali’s stellar refereeing career too! A great conversation from someone so many look up to in the refereeing world. Interview starts at 3mins 50secs.
Before our chat with Alhambra, we look at:
- World Rugby’s new #WomeninRugby initiative which launched this week. Check out www.women.rugby
- One of the 15 role models World Rugby have used in the campaign launch is Pheonix Xu, China’s first elite female referee who has aspirations to make the Tokyo Olympics
- Nigel Owens to referee the Pro14 Final and the two Premiership semi final referees – Luke Pearce and Matthew Carley
