No rest for the wicked, and it’s a full round of Pro14 and English Premiership rugby this weekend. A few games yesterday in the Pro14 (but as I’m nice, I’ve included the Welsh derbies officials as well.) Frank Murphy will oversee the big Munster v Leinster clash.
Matthew Carley will be the man casting his eye over Premiership proceedings at Twickenham Stadium as Harlequins play host to Leicester Tigers. It’s their annual Big Game 12 fixture in front of a bumper festive crowd.
Have a great rest of your respective festive/summer breaks, an on behalf of us all at RugbyReferee.net, have a fantastic new year’s celebrations and a splendid whistling 2020.
