Another quiet week this week as only the Pacific Nations Cup and Currie Cup matches take place. Jerome Garces, Nigel Owens and Mike Fraser (who will hopefully have a drier weekend in Fiji, than last weekend in the mudfields of Apia) are the referees on duty.
World Cup warm-up matches begin in earnest again next weekend, and the Rugby Championship resumes as well.
Enjoy it, whether you’re winding down for the season, or just starting your pre-season work!
