Referees to 23 March

Wayne Barnes has the massive one – the Six Nations decider. He has come in the place of Steve Walsh who is not refereeing at present. At Twickenham there is the oldest Test match in the world, and Marius Jonker, for the second time in his career, will referee that.

Originally Joël Jutge was appointed to the match but because of knee troubles he is not refereeing at present.

Didier Mene has his last international – an important match between Russia and Georgia.

In Italy Alan Falzone will referee the Final of the Coppa Italia.
