The Women’s Six Nations returns this weekend with two referee debuts as Kiwi duo Maggie Cogger-Orr (pic top left) and Lauren Jenner take charge for the first time. The third match will be refereed by fellow antipodean, Amber McLachlan. Back home, it’s the Grand Final of the Australian Super W – Tyler Miller will oversee the Fijian Drua v Waratahs match. Good luck all round!
Around the leagues, we’re heading towards the end of the season, but still plenty to play for. In the US MLR, Aukland referee Marcus Playle (bottom left) is in San Diego as part of their guest referee programme. Big match in France this weekend sees the two – Montpellier and Bordeaux-Begles – meet up with Vivien Praderie in charge.
Elsewhere, we’ve got all the officials for Super Rugby, England’s Premiership, Premier 15s Cup, Championship Cup, the midweek Premiership Cup semi finals, US MLR and WPL, the URC, SA’s Currie Cup and France’s Top 14 and ProD2.
Enjoy your weekend
