On the international scene, it’s the first of two Bledisloe Trophy ties with New Zealand v Australia at Eden Park. Ireland’s Andrew Brace (pictured top left) will referee that one before the MO team rotates next week in Sydney. Still in New Zealand, it’s the quarter finals for the NPC, Semi-final of the Meads and Lochore Cups in the Heartland Champs, and Premiership and Championship Finals in the Farah Palmer Cups. Erin Doherty (top right) has the big one there, with Chloe Sampson on the Championship final. Congrats to both.
In cross-border comps, there’s the URC which hits week three, and the opener of the Rugby Europe Super Cup with matches in Bucharest and Prague. Ethan Glass (Swi) and Carlos Gurrero (Spa) will referee those two.
Domestically, the Gallagher Prem hits round 3 in England and good to see George Selwood (bottom left) back in XVs action as he takes charge of his fourth (not seventh…) Prem match when Exeter Chiefs host Newcastle Red Bulls. There’s also a full list across England’s Championship and a couple of PWR Cup ties as well. There’s women’s premiership action in Scotland, and the Women’s AIL kicks off, joining the men’s comp in Ireland which is into week 3. In Spain, the women’s Iberdrola league joins the men’s Division de Honor for a new season. Jenny Lee (bottom right) has a men’s match in Pozuelo, Madrid.
Enjoy your weekend’s rugby!
