Referees to 6 August 2011
It will probably be the first real Tri-Nations match this weekend when A Team plays A Team with Craig Joubert to referee it. The television match official is Glen Jackson, once a top player and now a top referee.
There is a change to the European friendlies as Jonathan Kaplan has been forced by injury to withdraw. His place as an assistant at Twickenham this week is taken by George Clancy of Ireland.
