Referees to 4 August
There is a Test this weekend – a warm-up Test but a Test and Joel Jutge of France is the man to referee it – good warm-up for him, too.
It’s so strange that nowadays a Test can be a form of match practice.
There has been a change to the Ranfurly Shield match. Lyndon Bray has not quite recovered from illness and injury and is replaced by Kelvin Deaker while Jonathon White and Vinny Munroe swap roles as White has an injury and becomes more sedentary.
