Weekend referee appointments – 9-11 April

It’s weekend two of the Women’s Six Nations and this week it’s Aurélie Groizeleau and Hollie Davidson who take the whistles in Italy and Wales respectively. Down under, the familiar quartet of Berry, Murphy, O’Keefe and Williams are looking after the Super Rugby matches in Aus and NZ.

In Europe, there’s been some long stays in France (for the English refs) or in England (for the French refs) as travel & quarantine changes mean it’s easier to reappoint those refs to the games than send them home and having them miss out. The Champions Cup quarters will be refereed by Mathieu Raynal, Luke Pearce, Andrew Brace and Matt Carley, while Mssrs Ruiz, Poite, Murphy (Frank) and Dickson will be watching over the Challenge Cup quarters.

As well as that, we just have the RFU Championship refs and ARs for you.

Enjoy your weekends
