Ella Goldsmith (pictured top left) has the England v Wales match in Bristol, with Clara Munarini and Robbie Jenkinson having the other two in Parma and Clermont-Ferrand respectively. In Chicago, the Pac4 final round match between USA and Canada will be refereed by Amber McLaughlan (top right), with Aurélie Groizeleau heading the other way to Brisbane to oversee the Wallaroos-Black Ferns match. And in Oceania, there’s the final games of the Women’s Championship there with Erin Docherty refereeing that one.
In Scotland, it’s the Finals weekend at British Gas Murrayfield with Michael Todd (bottom left) refereeing the men’s Scottish Cup final, and Rebecca Rees whistling the Sarah Beaney Cup final for the top women’s teams. There’s a host of other lower finals on offer there too.
Over in the USA, the MLR heads into weekend five, with Pete Pender (bottom right) taking charge of the Old Glory DC match against California. It’s Anzac Day (Aus & NZ’s national day of remembrance) on Saturday and that marries up with Super Rugby Pacific super round where they will surely recognise that events of the past, as well as celebrating the future as they open up the new stadium in Christchurch.
There’s plenty of other league/comp action around the globe, so enjoy what you’ve got near you.
