Referees to 29 May 2016

It is the Final of the Premiership at Twickenham, the Final of the Pro 12 at Murrayfield and the Final of Italy's Eccellenza - all matches that bring great honour for the appointed match officials.

In addition England play Wales at Twickenham on Sunday - always an exacting match and great entree for Marius Mitrea of Italy into Tier 1.

There is an interesting set of appointments in Tokyo. Japan play Hong Kong and the whole team of match officials is from Hong Kong.

In Super Rugby Jaco van Heerden of Pretoria will be refereeing in Australasia for the first time. He has experienced Jaco Peyper to assist him.
