Referees to 19 June 2011

There are three IRB tournaments on the go – the Churchill Cup which has reached its finals and the Nations Cup and the Junior World Championship which are in Day 2. But lurking down in the Southern Hemisphere is the Super 15 which is in its last league round which will decide who goes through and who plays in what play-off. It’s a crunch round.

Steve Walsh has again been withdrawn with his prolonged calf injury. Chris Pollock takes his place.
