Referees to 14 May 2017
There is the Challenge Cup Final on Firday and then there are the finals of the Continental Shield and, gloriously, of the Champions Cup.
The referees concerned are Nigel Owens, John Lacey and Mike Adamson.
The Super Rugby match which will probably be most worth watching is that between the Crusaders and the Hurricanes with Jaco Peyper to referee it.
