Referees to 6 March 2017

Sevens restarts, this time in the popular rugby Mecca of Las Vegas. This time, men and women players are in action – as becomes Las Vegas.

There are two referees in the women's Sevens who have played international rugby –  Joy Neville and Hollie Davidson. And there are two others on World Rugby's Sevens panel who played for their countries – Aimee Barrett-Theron of South Africa and Rebecca Mahoney of New Zealand.

Six Nations has the week off but Rugby Europe's competition is Round 3. Georgia is already qualified for the 2019 Rugby World Cup, which means that the team coming second will qualify and the team coming third will go into répechage. Georgia are already qualified for World Cup 2019, but the team coming second will qualify and the team coming this will have another chance through répechage. At present, George are top and Romania second with Spain, Germany and Russia all on four points, a point behind Romania. It is tight.
