The Tri Nations is joined by the Autumn Nations Cup this weekend, and so the international referees are on their travels once again. We’ve got Gus Gardner in action down under, and then Nigel Owens picks up cap 99 as Georgia visit Twickenham. Luke Pearce, Mathieu Raynal and Matthew Carley are also refereeing around Europe.
On the more domestic side of things, we’ve for a full run of Pro14 and Top14 action. The frenchman, Julien Castaignede (bottom right) is in charge of the Castre v Bordeaux match in the Top 14. In South Africa, Griffin Colby (bottom left) makes his Super Rugby debut as the Griquas host the Sharks from Natal. It’s the final round of the Mitre 10 – Nick Briant (top right) will oversee the current top team, Aukland who will play the joint-bottom side Canterbury. Could be interesting as one of four teams could be relegated over the weekend.
Plenty of exciting action to be had around the rugby world. Enjoy whatever it is you end up watching
