Referees to 18 April 2016
There was excitement for Sevens referees with the announcement of the match official teams for the Olympics in Rio in August.
Europe's competitions are getting closer and closer to big decisions.
There are more matches referred to as Currie Cup though the teams playing are not going to get the Currie Cup at the end of this series of matches. What has happened to the great Currie Cup is so sad. It's rather like demolishing a heritage building to build a glass, concrete and chrome office block.
We shall fill in the gaps if we get the information required.
