Referees to 21 August 2016
Jaco Peyper will referee in Sydney and Glen Jackson in Nelspruit, which should ensure a happy start to the comepetition.
Nelspruit is not far from the Kruger Park in an area of game reserves and game farms. But the two animals in conflict – the Springboks and the Pumas – are all human beings.
In New Zealand provincial competitions are fully under way, the main one now known as the Mitre 10 Cup.
