Referees to 6 December
What no Tests! It is strange after the hectic days of November. But there are the All Blacks and Barbarians at Twickenham. And in Dubai there are the first of the IRB’s 2009-10 Sevens Series. And the Magners League actually squeezes a round in. Some of those who were refereeing Tests in front of massive crowds are now back at the clubs.
