It’s Easter weekend and round four of the Guinness Women’s Six Nations. Sara Cox (pictured top left) is refereeing her first match of this year’s tournament as she heads to Parma where the Italians play France. Italy’s Clara Munarini and Lauren Jenner have the other two matches. There’s the Sarah Beaney Cup final in Scotland where Watsonians Women play Hillhead Jordanhill. Beatriz Casares Fernández (bottom right) takes charge of that tie at the home of Scottish Rugby as part of their day of club finals. There’s the clash of the Supers as NZ’s Aupiki champs, Blues, host Australia’s Super W winners, the Waratahs. Maggie Cogger-Orr referees that one before she heads north for the Six Nations final weekend. We also have the sole match in the USA’s WER too and a REC Women’s Championship match too.
In the men’s game, the referee and their teams return to domestic action in the URC, Top 14, ProD2, Premiership and RFU Championship. Plus Super Rugby Pacific (Angus Mabey (bottom left) in action for the Moana Pasifika match), MLR, West Asia finals, Scotland’s Prem semi and club cup finals too. And an important qualifying match in Asia where Sri Lanka and Malaysia play off for a spot in Asia’s Championships which acts as a RWC qualifying tournament. The UAE’s Jaco de Wit (top right) referees that, with Saudi’s first ever MO representative, Aymen Jrichi takes one of the touch lines – congrats both!
Enjoy your weekend
