U20 - Refs for Round 2
The two venues being used are the Avchala Stadium in the Georgian capital Tbilisi and the AIA Arena in Kutaisi about 220 km west of Tbilisi.
Three of the referees also refereed in the first round – Dan Jones, Tom Foley and Pierre Brousset. The other three will be refereeing their first match at this championship.
To those concerned that there may be some sort of resurrection recorded here, the Pablo Deluca of Argentina is the son of Pablo Deluca the internationally known referee in the 1990s.
The biggest match in this round may well be that between Argentina and France. The Pumitas had a solid win over hosts Georgia and France drew with South Africa.
