It’s the Gallagher Premiership final this weekend and it’ll be refereed by Christophe Ridley (pictured top left) – his first showcase final. In the Saints v Bath match, he’ll be aided by last year’s final referee, Luke Pearce and Anthony Woodthorpe with Tom Foley in the TMO truck. Over in Toulouse, Adrien Marbot (bottom left) to referee the ProD2 final between Grenoble and Vannes which sees the winners promoted to the Top14 next season. Two great finals!
In the Super Rugby Americas semi finals, the Argentine pair of Nehuén Jauri Rivero and Tomás Bertazza will run the whistles. It’s quarter final stages in the United Rugby Championship and Super Rugby Pacific. Up north, there’s two Scots and two Irish in charge of the matches, with Hollie Davidson (top right) overseeing the Munster Osprey’s tie. In SRP, the four matches are split across the Tasman with Ben O’Keeffe and James Doleman representing NZ, and Nic Berry and Angus Gardner repping for Australia. There’s also Rugby Asia championships continuing with the Singaporian, Justin Wang (bottom right) refereeing the Malaysia v Hong Kong China tie on Saturday.
As well as all those, we have Rugby Europe 7s, the PWR women’s semi-finals in England, last round of the Top14, round 15 of the MLR and the last ever round of the Super Six Series in Scotland.
Enjoy your weekend
