This week sees the final of the ProD2, and semi-finals or qualifying play offs across the Super Rugby Pacific and Americas, Premiership and the URC. Nic Berry (pictured top left) becomes member 7 of the Super Rugby 100 Club, as he referees his hundredth match in the play-off match between the Brumbies and the Hurricanes. Luc Ramos (bottom left) will referee the match which determines whether Grenoble or Montalbanaise will play in the Top14 next season. In South Americas, Damian Schneider has one of the semi finals there with Pablo Deluca the other. In the URC and Premiership, the familiar names of Andrea Piardi, Andrew Brace, Christophe Ridley and Matthew Carley will have the whistles in those semi-finals. In Suva, the Oceania Women’s Champs kick off with Hibiki Ikeda from Japan (bottom right) refereeing the hosts against Tonga. Meresiana Savenaca from Fiji refs match two on Tuesday.
In the US, it’s heading towards the climax of the MLR and WER. Good to see Marquise Goodwin back in the middle in New Orleans, and Sybil Levine (top right) has the Breakers v Tempest tie in the WER.
Enjoy your weekend wherever you are.
