Referees to 18 July 2010

Apart from the second Tri-Nations match in Wellington there are two World Cup qualifiers this weekend.

The winners of each of those qualifying matches will meet in a double round to decide who will go into Pool B in New Zealand next year along with Argentina, England, Scotland and Georgia. That will complete the qualification for 2011.

There is an interesting appointment in the Currie Cup. Jason Jaftha has been appointed to his very first Premier Division match. All referees will want him to do really well.

In the New South Wales competition there are several exchanges with referees from Queensland and West Australia.
