Referees to 10 November 2012

Tests break out in the Northern Hemisphere this weekend – lots of them and one down Montevideo way as well. That means lots of chances for referees and Glen Jackson of New Zealand will be refereeing his very first Test – and at Twickenham at that. What a place to start.

Also the LV= Cup starts for matches involving English and Welsh clubs. LV= is a friendly society with a long history. LV stands for Liverpool Victoria and the =-sign suggests the equality of its members who are its owners.

And France's Top 14 goes ahead.
