We have all the match officials for you in the competitions, cups and leagues around the world. There’s international rugby in Spain, with the final of the four way tournament between the hosts, Spain, Brazil and Canada. The hosts will play the USA with Wales’ Adam Jones (pictured top left) in the middle. Argentina’s Damian Schneider referees the 3rd/4th place play off match.
There’s also Olympic 7s qualifying action in Spain. World Rugby have sent a couple of Svns Series refs, including Craig Chan (top right), to support the Asia Rugby referees too.
In Scotland, it’s the final of the Super Series with Ian Kenny (bottom right) taking the central role as Ayrshire Bulls play Stirling Wolves. We’ve got appointments for the URC, Premiership and Championship in England, plus the opening round of the Premiership Women’s Rugby, as well as the All Ireland Energia league 1a, Welsh Premiership and the Rugby Europe Super Cup and the latest rounds of the Top 14 and ProD2 (Aurelie Groizeleau (bottom left) is at Beziers) . Go well everyone!
Enjoy your weekend’s rugby!
