18-21 January – referee, AR & TMO appointments

Final round of the European window for a while, and plenty of referee movements to cast an eye over. We also have all the match officials for domestic leagues and competitions from across England, Wales, Ireland, France, Hong Kong China, and the Middle East.

Pictured this week (clockwise from top left) are Matthew Carley (Glasgow v Toulon), Nikki O’Donnell (Bristol v Harlequins in PWR), Gareth Newman (Llandovery RFC v Ebbw Vale RFC in Indigo Welsh Prem) and Aurelie Groizeleau who has ProD2’s Brive v US Montalbanaise.

Enjoy the weekend
