Referees to 12 November 2017
There is a match happening for the very first time. There are Barbarians, and for the first time there will be Women's Barbarians – not even the Amazons were called that! They will play against Munster Women at Thomond Park as a curtainraiser between the match between Tonga and the Men Barbarians, a more likely concept.
In Australia there is the final of the National Club Championship with William Houston to referee it in Canberra.
