It’s Six Nations gap weekend, but we have a fuller referee appointments list than of late, as we welcome back our Super Rugby friends. It’s Round 1 of the Super Rugby Australia competition and Graham Cooper and Damon Murphy (pictured bottom right) kick things off in Western Australia and Queensland respectively. Andrew Brace (top left) is back on Pro14 duties, heading to Connacht, and in France, Jonathan Dufort (bottom left) has La Rochelle who will be trying to regain the top spot there. In the English Premiership, the Worcester Newcastle match has been cancelled due to covid, so there’s one less game. Christophe Ridley (top right) will overseeing Exeter’s match with Northampton which would take them top, if only for a short time, as leaders Bristol play on Sunday. Karl Dickson will referee their match at London Irish.
Enjoy your weekends, and stay safe!
