Referees to 30 March
Suddenly, after all the excitement of the final weekend of the Six Nations, everything looks so ordinary, but ordinary is also wholesome and there will be referees out there giving their best to do ordinary really well – and there will be the ordinary number of moans and groans.
The match in Germany is the last in the first round of the Six Nations B.
Clubs in Europe are now racing to the climax to their seasons. Matches are more vital than ever.
