Referees to 28 July 2019
Eyes will be on Wellington this weekend when the two teams that won in Round 1 of the Rugby Championship. New Zealand and South Africa, meet down in windy Wellington with Nic Berry to see fair play.
The match in this year's truncated Rugby Championship has the feel of a final about it.
Starting this weekend is the Pacific Nations Cup with six countries but not Australia and New Zealand who are playing in the Rugby Championship. Chile is also not involved.
Rebecca Mahoney makes history in New Zealand when she becomes the first woman to referee a Ranfurly Shield match between Otago and North Otago. The Ranfurly Shield is a challenge trophy dating back to 1904
International.
