Referees to 11 November 2018

The Test window is flung open wide and the countries are grabbing the opportunity to go into action.

The match likely to attract most attention is the match at Twickenham when England play the All Blacks and Jérôme Graces is the referee. Then South Africa go to Paris, as young men should, to play resurgent France under the supervision of Nigel Owens.

In all there are 22 matches with international teams in action.

Two of the matches are to qualify for repechage places at the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan. The countries involved are Hong Kong, Canada, Kenya and Germany
