The big game of the weekend is in Bayonne where the TikTok Women’s Six Nations winner will be decided, and Scots referee Hollie Davidson (pic top left) will be the one overseeing matters. France will take on the England Roses who are looking for their 23rd consecutive win, but the hosts share the Women’s Six Nations top spot with four wins out of four. Eveyrthing to play for! Amber McLachlan (Aus) and Maggie Cogger-Orr (NZ via Canada) have the other two W6N matches. In Australia, Jess Ling (pic top right) makes her international debut as she referees the first of a three-way series between Japan Women, Fiji Women and the Walleroos.
Elsewhere, things are hotting up in the Gallagher Premiership. Matthew Carley (bottom left) will referee the 3rd v 4th place Harlequins v Northampton. Both could do with a win as they look to secure a semi final spot. There’s also the RFU Championship Cup and a big set piece event, the Army v Navy match returns – Sara Cox has the pleasure of being appointed to referee that one. In France, there’s Top14 action and Thomas Charabas (pic bottom right) referees top team Montpellier who travel to Lyon. We’ve also got all the officials for the weekend’s Sevens Series Women’s tournament in Langford, Canada, the United Rugby Championship, US MLR, US Women’s Premier League, Super Rugby Pacific plus Scotland’s Super 6s!
Enjoy the weekend rugby!
