Referees to 23 February

There is a chance for the Six Nations sides to catch their breath but not for the Super 14 teams who probably all still have ambitions of reaching the semifinals. In the Super 14 the principle of merit appointment, regardless of nationality or domicile, continues.

There are four appointments this weekend which would have been taboo in previous years - those of Stuart Dickinson, James Leckie and the unrelated Lawrences, Bryce and Mark.
