Super Saturday in the Guinness Six Nations as the title will be decided, probably in Dublin. Jaco Peyper (pic top left) will oversee that one, with Nic Berry (bottom left) from Australia back in the north to referee France v Wales. If France get five championship points there, then Ireland will need a bonus point of some description. Angus Gardner has the Scotland Italy match.
In New Zealand, it’s semi final weekend in Super Aupiki with Tarsh Ganley (bottom right) and Mike Winter in charge. And a little further north, it’s Finals weekend in Hong Kong. In his 80th Premiership appearance, Matt Rodden (top right) will officiate the men’s grand final with Francesco Cammisa taking charge of the women’s final. The other finals this weekend are in Europe as the men’s Rugby Championship concludes in Spain who host Georgia v Portugal. Frenchman, Ludovic Cayre is the man in the middle for that one. And finally, Adam Leal will referee the Premiership Cup Final in the England.
Go well everyone!!
