It’s a big weekend for Scottish referee, Mike Adamson (top left)who makes his 6 Nations debut at Twickenham. He has fellow 6N debutant Ben Blain on the side with him too. In France, top side Toulouse host Pau with Laurent Cardona (bottom left) on the whistle. Bristol top the Gallagher Premiership and they’ll host their rivals Gloucester with fellow west countryman, Tom Foley in charge on Friday night before he flies to Ireland for Sunday’s TMO duties. And continuing the ‘top’ theme, the leaders of the Premier 15s are Saracens, and RFU panel referee Sam Philips (bottom right) will oversee their match with Gloucester-Hartpury.
Sadly the weather has forced the cancellation of the two Pro14 matches, which will be a big disappointment for Hollie Davidson who was due to referee her first Pro14 match. Fingers crossed for a speedy rearrangement.
Wherever you are, this weekend, stay stafe!
