Another week of Autumn Nations Series with thirteen matches up for our viewing joy. Irishman, Andrew Brace (pictured top left) will be in Twickenham for the World Champs visit to the Allianz Stadium.
With many developing nations teams in the North, France are hosting a four team round robin. Japan, Uruguay, Tonga and the USA will all play in Chambery in SE France. Hollie Davidson (top right) has the USA v Tonga match with Christophe Ridley overseeing the Japan v Uruguay tie.
Ben O’Keeffe (bottom left) hits another milestone this week. Refereeing Italy v Georgia, it will be his 231st first class appointment which sees him over take Paddy O’Brien, to become NZ’s most experienced referee.
There’s no top tier action in England this weekend, only one match in Scotland and no Top 14 in France. There is a couple of Rugby Europe Trophy matches and in France, a ProD2 round where I think Julien Caulier (bottom right) makes his debut as Stade Niçois Rugby host Brive. Plus AIL men’s and women’s in Ireland and there’s a huge 10s competition in Thailand, so good luck to all involved there. We also have the women’s prem in Hong Kong China, men’s Champ in Portugal, and the one match in the Qatar.
Enjoy your weekend
