Another busy weekend for referees across the international rugby and domestic scene around the world. It’s the final weekend of the WXV global series which sees South African, Zoe Naude (pictured top left) overseeing matters in New Jersey, USA as the visiting Red Roses hope to curb the losing streak they’ve found themselves on. That’s part of a double-header with the USA Eagles men then playing Australia A. Damian Schneider (top right) refs that one.
There’s a host of Rugby Europe and some international age grade matches – appointments all below. It’s nearly off-season down in New Zealand and Australia. Congrats Nic Berry who won the RA Referee of the Year award last night. Across the ditch, Jackson Henshaw has to wait for his post-season rest as the Heartland XV v Manuma Samoa takes place.
Up north, Hong Kong China’s prems kick on, and in Europe all the major leagues have a week before the November international window opens up again. In the Gallagher Prem in England, Sara Cox (bottom right) is on duty in Northampton who host leaders Gloucester. And in France, there’s Top 14, ProD2 and Elite 1 Feminine. Toulouse lead the Top 14 – they visit Pau with Kevin Bralley (bottom left) on the whistle. We have the rest of the appointments from around Scotland, Ireland, Spain (although they may not take place after the terrible incident train crash there yesterday), and the Netherlands.
Enjoy your weekend
