It’s the Lion’s second test against South Africa this week, and referee duties rotate onto Ben O’Keeffe. He’ll be looking forward to both the match, and the subsequent Rassie Erasmus’ compilation of the week video. Maybe less so on that latter…
Elsewhere, it’s the second day of the Olympic 7s women’s in Tokyo. Sara Cox (top right) is one of those involved.
It’s round 3 of the Farah Palmer Cup in New Zealand and Maggie Cogger-Orr (bottom left) will be in charge of the Canterbury-Wellington match.
We’re nearing the climax of the Currie Cup tiers – last round for the first division, penultimate for the premier division. JD will take charge of the north v south match at Newlands.
And finally, summer rugby comes to Scotland as the Super 6s kicks off. Good luck to Keith Allen, Finlay Brown and Ian Kenny who are back in refereeing action after quite a long break!!
Enjoy your weekends
