Referees to 6 October 2013
It's the end of the Championship with all to play for – 1 vs 2 on 2's favourite field. It could be an astonishing match, with Nigel Owens to see fair play.
Owens, a referee of great experience, has already said that this is the is greatest appointment so far.
Anybody who was at the Western Province referees' dinner on Thursday last week would have seen another side of him. He sang. He sang with beauty, conviction – five verses of the hymn How Great Thou Art (three in Welsh, two in English), then the sad love song Mafanywy in Welsh. It was wonderful. Let's hope he sings a happy song after the Test,
For the first time we welcome the referees' appoointment ffrom our Namibian neighbours. We are allways keen to publish appointments from all over the world/
