Referees to 28 April 2019
There is a bit of history being made in Denver, Colorado, where the USA Women will play the Barbarians. It is the first time that any USA national team will have faced the Barbarians and the Barbarians’ women’s team is a recent foundation – started in 2017 when the Barbarians as a rugby club were 127 years old.
The referee for the match is Amelia Luciano. In 2013 she was the first recipient of the Don Morrison Scholarship which is intended to enable USA referees to get experience abroad. Amelia spent three months with the Canterbury Referees’ Association.
In South Africa, the SuperSport Rugby Challenge kicks off with all 14 South African provinces taking part plus teams from Namibia and Zimbabwe.
