Weekend refs, ARs & TMO appointments for 24-27 October

Angus Mabey (pictured top left) referees the big dance in New Zealand, taking charge of his 2nd consecutive NPC final. The match on Saturday sees Wellington play Bay of Plenty.

Jordan Way (bottom left) leads an Australian team of four for the opening match of the Autumn series as the All Blacks travel to Tokyo en route to Europe.

In the URC experience mix, we have Andy Brace looking after his 99th match as Stormers host Glasgow, Griffin Colby takes his second match in Ireland and back in Natal, Hollie Davidson (top right) referees her 16th URC match as the Sharks host Munster.

In the far East, the Hong Kong China women’s Premiership returns for a new season. Sunny Lee (bottom right) is refereeing the Kowloon v Natixis Ice matchup. We’ve also got the Teams of 3 or 4 across the Gallagher Premiership, men’s and women’s Premierships in Scotland, the AIL men’s and women’s in Ireland and the Top 14 and ProD2 from France. All those, plus men’s prem league in Netherlands, a match in the West Asia Super Rugby in Dubai, and a couple of Rugby Europe ties too.
