An international fallow weekend, but we have plenty of league action from around the world. The New Zealand women’s Super Rugby was due to kick off this weekend, but has been delayed a week, but we have the Australian Super W league kicking off in Australia. Tyler Miller (picture, top right) referees the Force v Reds match in Perth. In England, the Premierships top two meet, and Craig Maxwell-Keys (top left) will referee the match as Saracens host Leicester. Further south, France’s Romain Poite and Tual Trainini (bottom right) will referee the top two teams as Bordeaux host Pau, hoping to stay ahead of Montpellier who visit Castre.
In the US MLR, Canada’s Moe Chaudry (bottom left) gets his first run out of the season as Austin play host to the Los Angeles Giltinis. We’ve also got the URC, Premier 15s and RFU Championship in England, Pro D2 in France, Scotland Premiership and Sarah Beaney Cup and the Super Rugby Pacific referee, AR and TMO appointments
Wherever you are, enjoy the weekend’s rugby offerings.
