Referees to 30 September 2019

The eyes of all Japan and the rest of the world are on the World Cup with another 11 matches in the coming week with lots of focus on Japan vs Ireland, Australia vs Wales and Scotland vs Samoa.

Already it has been an excellent World Cup - big, cheerful, enthusiastic crowds and top performers in action as players and as match officials.

The PRO14 starts this weekend and in South Africa the new Under-19 Championship.

Scotland kick off their Premiership with a lady to referee one of the matches, the experienced Hollie Davidson.
