Referees to 2 November
October is over and we are into November with All Saints and then All Souls to excite us about the last things. And the last things of the year are exciting, starting in Hong Kong.
It’s the fourth Bledisloe Cup match. New Zealand are assured of retaining the massive cup but it will not be a more gently contested match for that reason.
