A big old list of referees, ARs and TMOs are in place for the Autumn international series, as well as all the usual leagues around the world.
With the exception of the URC, all the other domestic leagues continue through the international window. In New Zealand, Tiana Ngawati (pic top right) continues her development as she makes her NPC level debut when she controls the non competition “friendly” between Hawke’s Bay & Northland. In Hong Kong, congrats to Stephen Copeman (pic bottom right) takes charge of his 50th HK Premiership match as Natixis HKFC host Sandy Bay. We’ve got the full list from England’s Premiership, Championship and Premier15s Cup, Scotland’s men and women’s premierships, Hong Kong men and women’s premierships plus France’s Top14 and ProD2 and New Zealand’s Heartlands & NPC.
Enjoy your weekend, whatever you’re refereeing, or watching!
