Just the one international XVs match for you this weekend as a Wales team plays a Springbok squad in Cardiff. It’s outside the agreed international window, and both teams have lost a lot of core players to their clubs around the globe. Luc Ramos (pictured top left) from France will oversee matters in Cardiff. The World Svns series resumes for a new season in Dubai. Just the eight teams in each competition so it’s a smaller referee pool as well – just four men’s and four women’s referees to whistle it. However, the elite men’s and women’s nations will be joined by hundreds of teams playing one of the biggest community sevens events in the globe. Plenty of readers will be out there to officiate in one form or another. Good luck to all!
Back to XVs, Ramos’ compatriot, Tual Trainini (bottom left) will referee back home in the Top14 as top team Stade Toulousain host Racing 92. There’s ProD2 and the Elite 1 Feminine league in France too. The URC returns after the international break, and the SA teams get back into the swing of things with the Bulls playing the Lions. Aimee Barrett-Theron (top right) makes her return after the RWC, refereeing her 12th URC match. There’s a full round of Prem, Champ and PWR action in England and men’s and women’s prems in Scotland so check those lists out below. In Ireland, both All Ireland Leagues’ return. In the women’s AIL Siobhán Daly (bottom right) will look after the Galwegians v Old Belvedere match. Finally we have the top women’s league in Italy and Scotland to wrap things up.
Enjoy your weekend
