Plenty of rugby action around the world as the domestic and regional leagues head towards the Autumn international window which opens next weekend. So, it’s last chance for the referees to stake their claims for World Rugby appointments.
Most of the usual suspects are in action this weekend with the likes of Wayne Barnes, Mathieu Raynal, Andrew Brace all refereeing. Luke Pearce is back on Premiership duties after his spell in Australia. He’s become a father for the second time this week so congrats to all the Pearce family. In Italy, South African Super Rugby referee, Aimee Barret-Theron (pic top left) makes her URC debut, Aurélie Groizeleau (bottom right) makes her ProD2 debut in France, and in New Zealand, Tiana Ngawati (bottom left) becomes the second woman after Bex Mahoney, to referee a Heartland Championship fixture. Also down there, congrats to Mike Winter (pic top right) who referees his 50th 1st class game as Northland play Otago.
To finish off the list, we’ve got the referees for the Scotland Super 6s, Premiership and Women’s Premiership and the Hong Kong leagues who will be hoping not to have consecutive weekend washouts as another typhoon heads their way.
Wonder if we’ll see anyone taking advantage of the new law amendment we brought you yesterday?
Stay safe out there folks!
