Back to European action for the main northern countries as the southern hemispheres start to think about pre-season friendlies. Outside of the Heineken Cup and the Challenge Cup, we also have the match officials for England’s Greene King Championship and women’s Tyrells Premier15s. David Sutherland (pic on right) is the referee for Scotland’s sole Super 6 match as Boroughmuir take on the Southern Knights.
Friday edit: Nigel Owens has withdrawn ill so has been replaced by Matthew Carley of England in the Clermont v Ulster match. Various other changes have been made as a result.
