Another busy weekend across the northern hemisphere and the referees, ARs and TMOs are out and about as ever. What better way to enjoy our free once-every-four-years day for rugby.
It’s only a matter of time before fixtures become subject to change due to the global Coronavirus outbreak. Already Italian fixtures are being postponed (home and away), as has Super Rugby in Japan. But for this weekend, we have still have news from around the world! Pictured this week, we have Cedric Marchat who is in Agen in the Top14 in France. We have Moe Chaudhry in green, who’s refereeing in Austin as they host the Old Glory from DC, and then Ian Tempest, who will be officiating his 68th Premiership match, as Bath host Bristol in the west country derby.
Good luck to all, and enjoy whatever you’re doing this weekend!
Enjoy
