Referees to 2 March

The year is racing on – two months down already and ten to go, and all of them packed with rugby activity with referees whizzing all over the place. This weekend is a bit of a breather before the Six nations gets going again.

It’s good to see Chris White back again but there is still no sign of Joël Jutge.

There is a change to the Canberra match where Lyndon Bray replaces Paul Honiss, whose wife has been seriously ill.
