It’s the 50th test for Australian referee, Angus Gardner (pictured top left) who heads to Dublin for the big Six Nations match of the weekend. Andrea Piardi and Andrew Brace are also on duty in Edinburgh and Twickenham respectively. There’s a round of men’s u20s action as well with Lex Weiner (USA), Katsuki Furuse (Japan) and Griffin Colby (SA) all taking charge.
There’s a second weekend of Challenger Series in SA with the winners heading towards a play off for spot in the World Svns series. Kristine Lovatt (bottom right) from Canada is one of match officials also trying to break into the top ranks. See who else is in Cape Town with her.
Elsewhere we have all the Supers – Pacific, Aupiki, W, Americas and West Asia. In Lautoka, Fiji, Jess Ling (top right) referees the Super W match where Drua host Queensland. In Cordova, Frank Mendes (bottom left) referees the Dogos XV match in the Americas. There a SR Pacific debut for Marcus Playle at the Moana Pasifika match and SR Aupiki debuts for both Todd Petrie and Warwick Lahmert. Congrats to the three of them.
There’s the semi-finals of the Hong Kong China premierships, and the same in the Premiership Cup in England. It’s also Varsity weekend as the old opponents from Oxford and Cambridge meet. Finally, we have ProD2 in France, MLR in the States, West Asia premierships and South Africa’s women’s prem and SA Cup men’s.
Enjoy your weekend
