Referees to 3 November 2013
November starts with great feasts – All Saints, All Souls and lots of Tests.
The curtain has come down on the season in SANZAR countries, but not the interest as their teams move north, starting with the All Blacks in Tokyo, the Maori All Blacks in Toronto and the Wallabies in London – three teams from one continent on three different continents.
Top referees are travelling men these days. An Irishman goes to London, a short hop, an Argentinain goes north to Canada and a South African takes a long haul from Durban toTokyo. That's exciting but then you have a young referee with a wife and a little baby, and he has been away for six months of the year so far.
For Tokyo-bound Stuart Berry it is his very first Test – a wonderful start when one of the teams is the champion of the world. All referees would want him to do well and make a great start to a wonderful international career.
