Referees to 3 July 2016
The break will have taken some of the impetus from Super Rugby and for many of the 18 teams it will be a matter of playing out time – just three matches before the knock-outs.
For Rasta Rasivhenge this is a big weekend. He is one of the best-known referees in the world from his refereeing on the Sevens circuit but this weekend in Kampala he will be refereeing his first 15-man Test.
Unusually there is a lady as an assistant referee in Super Rugby – Amy Perrett.
Unusually, too, the Chiefs will be playing the Crusaders in Fiji, not in New Zealand.
