Italian referee, Andrea Piardi (pictured top left) will take charge of the final autumn international match of the series as the Australians look to end their tour on a high in Ireland. There’s a double round of women’s internationals in Amsterdam as the Brazilians head to town – Katherine Richie refs those two matches over the next week.
In warmer climes, it’s the start of the World Rugby Svns Series in Dubai. As well as the men’s and women’s events (Lavenia Racaca from Fiji (bottom left) will be a regular face this year) there’s one of the biggest 7s competitions running along side it. Many of our readers and friends from around the world will be out there for some winter warmth! Enjoy!
With most domestic comps picking back up after the internationals, we have the match official teams for the men’s URC, Top 14 & ProD2, and England, Netherlands, and Hong Kong’s men’s Premierships back in play. Sara Cox (top right) oversees Bath who host Exeter in the Gallagher Premiership.
Looking at women’s leagues, we also have the MOs for the PWR and Women’s Prem in Scotland and Hong Kong China as well.
And finally, in the far east, Thailand’s huge varsity match takes place with Thawatchai Somwang (bottom right) refereeing the match between King’s College v Old Vajiravudh.
Enjoy your weekend
