Referees to 10 November 2013
Tests galore this week. The North-South Tests gain momentum and the are European Nations Cup matches and World Cup Qualifiers. It's a busy time for the world's top referees.
The top two matches, it seems, will be refereed by Alain Rolland and Jaco Peyper. That is the theory anyway.
Tappe Henning is on duty having started his new job on Monday morning in charge of Scottish referees.
