Appointments to 29 January 2012
The hurly-burly of the Heineken Cup is suddenly over, quarterfinalists are decided and we are back to clubs as they fight for glory or to avoid ignominy.
Alain Rolland was injured in the first half of the match between Benetton Treviso and Saracens, his place taken by John Carvill.
Rolland was to have refereed Cork Con against Lansdowne Road this weekend but has had to withdraw. Leo Colgan has taken his place while Eddie Hogan-O’Connell has taken Colgan's place.
For the first time we have club appointments from Japan as interest in Japan's rugby grows.
