After a cracking opening weekend of Nations Champ and Cup action, we’re straight onto round 2. Great to see Paul Williams (pictured top left) back in an international jersey as he referees in Argentina who host Wales. After a couple of changes, Argentina’s Tomas Ninci (bottom left) is stepping up to referee the Chile v Hong Kong China tie in South America.
George Selwood (Eng) and Kevin Brailley (Fra) seem to be heading the pack out at the u20s – They’ve been appointed to the main semi finals in Tiblisi on Monday. France play New Zealand and England play South Africa.
In domestic rugby, there’s just Super Rugby Aupili and the WER in the USA, plus Currie Cup men’s in South Africa. Stateside, Sybil Levine (bottom right) referees the Tempest v Exiles tie as the Women’s Elite Rugby competition resumes after a 4 July break. Down South, Erin Doherty (top right) takes the whistle as Matatu play the Hurricanes Poua. Super W has a rest week before their semi-finals next weekend. The Currie Cup first division continues for another round of rugby.
Enjoy the weekend
