Referees to 8 July
The Tri-Nations rushes up to Sydney this weekend after three exceptionally tight matches where the winner came from behind near the death. They were real thrillers.
Melbourne last week, Lusaka this week – that is Marius Jonker, a busy referee – George Gregan one week and George Gregan’s birthplace the next.
