Another week, another round of Super Rugby. We’re up to round nine in New Zealand where James Doleman and Paul Williams are this weekend’s referees.

Across the Tasman, we have a new name for you in the referee list. Graham Cooper (pic left), who has been around the Super Rugby circuit for a while now as an AR, steps up to referee the Rebels v Brumbies match in Sydney. Graham was Australia’s representative at the World U20s in Manchester in 2016 and at the Women’s Rugby World Cup in 2017, where he refereed the England v France semi-final. By day, he’s Rugby Australia’s Match Official Manager for the southern states. Good luck Graham tonight.
Next week, we’ll have more on the appointments list as the Gallagher Premiership resumes after a five month hiatus!
Have a safe weekend
