Final round of the formal international window, and all the matches across Europe will be refereed by northern hem referees this weekend. After a strong result last weekend, France host Argentina with Luke Pearce (pictured top left) overseeing matters on Friday night. Hollie Davidson (top right) will take to the Aviva Stadium as Ireland host Fiji. Saba Abulashvili from Georgia (bottom left) is in Madrid as the Spaniards play the USA. The eagle eyes will see some doubling up for Andrea Piardi and Morne Ferreira who assist Pearce on Friday in Paris before heading up to Edinburgh on Sunday to look after Craig Evans.
There’s a couple of Rugby Europe trophy matches taking place, plus a large u18s and u20s event in Prague. We also have the domestic comps and leagues across England (PWR & Prem Cup), Ireland, Scotland, France (Top 14), Germany (Cara Senneka (bottom right) pops over the border to referee RC Luxembourg), and Hong Kong China men’s and women’s premierships.
Enjoy your weekend
