Congratulations to Jaco Peyper (left) who referees his fifth Currie Cup Final this weekend as the Bulls play the Sharks. With new travel restrictions impacting South African travellers into northern Europe, it remains to be seen if he and Marius van der Westhuizen will be allowed to head north for the Six Nations. As a reminder, they are due in London and Edinburgh in March, so things may relax by then.
Back to this weekend, we have the Gallagher Premiership returning, a couple of Premier 15s matches and there’s some catch-up matches from the Pro14. There’s a full line-up of matches from the Top14 in France too. All the officials involved are below.
Good luck to all referees this weekend.
