Honiss replaced by Rolland

Paul Honiss, appointed to referee the Six Nations match between Scotland and France at Murrayfield on Sunday, has had to withdraw because of a serious family illness. He has had to return to New Zealand.

Alain Rolland of Ireland, the referee for the World Cup Final in 2007, will take Honiss’s place. He was down to referee the AIB Cup match between Shannon and Galwegians.

The other match officials are unchanged.
