Referees for 19 July
Tri-Nations starts in Auckland in a competition which seems wide open for all three nations this year with Craig Joubert to get it going.
There is also a World Cup qualifier set for this weekend but after Samoa’s huge win over the PukPuks (115-7), it may well not be worth the journey to Port Moresby for the second leg.
