Referees to 11 February 2013

What an exciting start to the Six Nations - a thriller in Cardiff, creative England at Twickenham and the excitement of Rome. The prospect of the second week is mouth-watering as the Six Nations move to Edinburgh, Paris and Dublin.

It's close in the Six Nations B. Georgia beat Belgium 17-13, Russia beat Spain 13-9 and Romania beat Portugal 19-13.

This week the Sevens is in glitzy Las Vegas.

Meanwhile the Southern Hemisphere carries on warming up/
