Referees to 24 September 2017
It is interesting how national boundaries are being ignored even in non-Test matches. The PRO14 is sending people across the equator and also has a lady as an assistant referee – Joy Neville who refereed the final of the Women's World Cup splendidly.
She is ripping off the 'Men Only' sign with energy it seems, for she is also refereeing in the men's Eccelenza in Italy. And Andrea Piardi of Italy is refereeing in Ireland.
