24-28 November: Referee, AR & TMO appointments

Quieter weekend this weekend as the autumn international window closes (still 2 games happening though) and some leagues return for the pre-Christmas run.

Angus Gardner (top left) is the last southern hemisphere left up north – the Australian referees at Twickenham, looking after the England v Springboks. Matthew Carley (top right) heads west to referee the Wales v Australia match. In addition to those we have the return of the URC, Top 14 and ProD2 after a break. AJ Jacobs (bottom right) heads north to Ulster who host Zebre and the top team in France, Toulouse will be refereed by Tual Trainini (bottom left) who host Lyon. The match officials for the Gallagher Premiership and AP15s are also below, as wellas those for the Hong Kong men’s and women’s Premiership.

Enjoy the weekend
