29 Oct-2 Nov referee appointments

Another long list of appointments for you. We have Autumn internationals kicking off and it’s good to see Nic Berry and Aimee Barrett-Theron heading north to referee two of them. The America’s Pacific Challenge continues in Uruguay and there’s a couple of Rugby Europe around the continent too. Frank Mendez (pic bottom left) will be hoping for a more competitive match than his midweek game which saw an Argentina XV put 146 points on Paraguay. Not often you get two 100+pts in two separate internationals in a weekend.

As well as international appointments, we have the domestic action from England’s Premiership (pic of Tom Foley (bottom right) who is in action as Northampton play Leicester), Championship and Premier 15s Cup, Scotlands men’s and women’s premierships, Hong Kong’s premierships and the Top 14 and ProD2 matches in France. In New Zealand, Will Johnston makes his Heartland Championship debut as Thames Valley host King Country. Good luck Will.

Enjoy your weekends (and your extra hour’s sleep on Sunday, if it’s your turn this weekend!)
