We hit the second weekend of the Six Nations and this week, it’s Australia week when it comes the referees in the men’s competition. Angus Gardner (pic top left) returns to international action in the big game of the weekend. France v Ireland will be his match. His compatriots Nic Berry (in Wales) and Damon Murphy (making his Championship debut in Italy) will also referee over the weekend. In the u20s, France and Ireland also meet after getting off to winning starts last weekend. Hollie Davidson (top right) will referee that one. There’s also a handful of Rugby Europe Championship and Trophy matches at stake too. Ludo Cayre (bottom left) from France is in Amsterdam as the Netherlands host Georgia who could only draw last week against Portugal. Looking to the west, Major League Rugby welcomes JP Doyle (bottom right) back to the refereeing fold. Now resident in Scotland, he’s headed to Texas this week and will referee Austin against the DC side, Old Glory.
We’ve also got the full roster in England (Premiership, Championship and Premier 15s), France (ProD2), Scotland (men’s Premiership), the URC and Malaysia.
Enjoy your rugby this weekend
