Referees to 15 September 2019

It is the calm before the storm. There is not a great deal of activity on the rugby front this week as players huddle together in their teams before the World Cup storm breaks the week after this.

.Warm-up matches are over, and the Currie Cup came a brilliant end in Bloemfontein on Saturday.

The Victoria Cup match between neighbours Zambia and Zimbabwe in the Battle of the Zambezi is the last for this year. As it stands Zimbabwe top the log unbeaten while Zambia are winless at the bottom.
