December 3-5: Weekend referee, AR & TMO appointments

Another busy weekend around the domestic leagues. One final game of the season for the south as the New Zealand Barbarians are hosted by the Heartland Championship Barbarians. Mike Winter (top left) is the referee for that one. Tual Trainini (bottom right) returns to the top 14 fixture list as Clermont host Biarritz. There’s been some fixture rejigging in the URC after last weeks postponements. Some of the teams aren’t yet back where they should be, which could have some knock on implications for next weekend’s opening round of European cup fixtures. Sam Grove-White (bottom left) heads south to officiate the Ospreys v Munster match.

Elsewhere, we have the referee, AR and TMO appointments for the mens and women’s Premierships in England (Ian Tempest, pic top right) looks after the Leicester v Quins), and Scotland. In Hong Kong, it’s just the men’s Premiership this week as the ladies teams have a bye weekend, in France we have the French Top 14 and ProD2. Finally, we have the RFU Championship teams of three too.

Enjoy your weekend rugby – do stay safe wherever you are.
