No rest for the wicked [referees] as there’s a full(ish) set of domestic fixtures in England, France, the Pro14 and South Africa.
Two games have already been cancelled in the Premiership in the last 36 hours, and one moved in the Currie Cup, and as we go to press, there may be more cancellations. We will strike them out below when/if that happens!!
On behalf of all in the RugbyReferee.net community, may I take this opportunity to wish you a very Happy Christmas, and we hope you all stay safe and sound wherever you are!
Have a great rest of the holidays
