We move onto the second test of the Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry, and in a late change, Angus Gardner (pictured top left) steps into the middle for the Springboks v All Blacks match in Cape Town. Nika Amashukeli has been ill this week and will now swicth to referee the third test. Let’s hope the weather forecast doesnt spoil things for Gus too much!
Sticking with South Africa, it’s the final of the Women’s Super League 2 this weekend. Congrats Angie Bezuidenhout (top right) who referees the Pumas Women v Griquas Women.
In New Zealand, this weekend sees the start of the women’s Farah Palmer Cup compettions with some new referees stepping up. In the Championship division, the Hawke’s Bay v North Harbour match will be refereed by Holly McKenzie (bottom left) – congrats on the debut! The officials for the other FPC matches are below with the and the NPC and Heartlands champsionship too.
And things are ramping back up in Europe. First off the mark for the new season is France’s ProD2. I’m heading to Aix to watch Thibault Santamaria (bottom right) referee Provence Rugby v Agen. Scotland’s men’s prem returns too.
Enjoy your weekend’s rugby
