Referees to 9 November
Touring from South to North starts this month with a relatively gentle introduction in England, with referees darting all over the world. The big matches are at Millennium Stadium and Twickenham with Craig Joubert and Bryce Lawrence to referee them.
The big domestic match this weekend is the Air New Zealand Cup Final. The referee for the Final is Vinny Munro. Canterbury are playing in the Final in Christchurch and Munro is a Canterbury referee – as the rugby world moves away from being overly concerned with a referee’s birthplace or domicile.
