A non-Six-Nations weekend so we have a round of the top leagues across the North, as the Super Rugby begins to get up to speed. One far-flung exchange sees the Georgian, Nika Amashukeli (yes, he of the Referee Blood Bin situation last year – pic middle) remaining in Ireland after last weekend’s U20s match. He referees his debut Pro14 fixture as Munster host the Southern Kings. Elsewhere, there are lots of familiar names across the appointments which span England, Scotland, France, the USA and Canada, and Super Rugby (Jaco Peyper is back in action – pic left) and Australia where there’s a couple of Super W matches. Amber Mclachlan (pic right) oversees the Melbourne Rebels Women v Waratahs Women match.
Enjoy your weekend!
