Easter weekend rugby referee, ARs & TMOs

Referees, ARs and TMOs are all in place and saving their chocolate consumption for Monday. It’s Quarter Final time in the European cups and it’s round 8 of both Super Rugby Pacific and MLR. We’ve mentioned the Kiwi referee, Tarsh Ganley, a few times of late and another name check this week as she becomes the first non-Australian to referee a Super W. She’ll be in Melbourne to oversee the Rebels v Force match. The men’s comp of the World Sevens Series moves to Singapore this weekend, plus there’s also Currie Cup action and the ProD2 in France.

In the US MLR, Cam Stone (bottom left) from the Bay of Plenty in New Zealand has the whistle in Atlanta who host DC Glory. Adam Jones (top right) is in Welsh Premiership action as Carmarthen Quins host RGC1404.

Enjoy your Easter
