Karl Dickson kicks off round 4 of the Guinness men’s Six Nations on Friday as Wales look to build on the momentum of a better performance last time out. Angus Gardner has made it up from Australia (via Los Angeles) to referee the France match up in Scotland. Luc Ramos (pictured top left) makes his men’s Six Nations debut in the intriguing match in Italy as they host England. In a change to the original appointments for that match, Nic Berry hasn’t travelled north, so is replaced as AR by Scotland’s Sam Grove-White.
There’s international u20s action around Europe too, plus semi-finals of the Rugby Europe Championship, England’s Prem Cup and HKC premierships. In the west, it’s round five of the Svns Series as they all land in Vancouver before heading down to NYC next weekend. Maria Latos (bottom left) from Germany is in action once again. On the domestic scene, Super Rugby Pacific moves onwards. Todd Petrie (top right) made his SRP debut last season and has a run out this weekend in Hamilton as the Chiefs host Moana. There’s the referees and ARs for Super Rugby Americas heading into round three. In Japan, they had a snowstorm a few weekend’s back so there’s some rearranged fixtures being played.
As we celebrate International Women’s Day on Sunday, it’s great that there continues to be a strong representation on the list from the female game. There’s the Svns Series, Celtic Challenge, PWR (England), Liga Iberdrola (Spain), HKC Women’s Premiership, SA Women’s Super league all here today. Plus the AIL in Ireland where Alana Kerr (bottom right) referees the Old Belvedere v UL Bohemian tie. Still more to do to get more female referees named across those (& other) games, but there is progress being made.
Have a good weekend everyone
