Referees to 18 October 2020
The vastly-experienced Nigel Owens will be taking charge of his seventh Champions Cup final, and his ninth European club decider in all, when Exeter Chiefs go head-to-head with Racing 92 at Ashton Gate on Saturday, 17 October 2020.
Angus Gardner will take the whistle for the second Bledisloe Cup match between New Zealand and Australia after the first encounter ended in a tie.
Super Rugby Unlocked makes a return and we’ll get to see the Stormers in action for the first time as they host the Lions at Newlands, under the watchful eye of referee Rasta Rasivhenge.
