Referees to 21 March
It’s the last day of Six Nations and it ends with the big one, Le Crunch, at Stade de France. There are also vital matches in ancient Trabazon on the Black Sea – an interesting venue – and Lisbon, the loser of the latter may well be out of hope of qualifying for the World Cup. There is a lot to keep referees on their toes.
