IRFU Referee Appointments This Week
IRFU referees are in action at every level of the game this weekend. This week the highlights include the Ulster Bank League, the GUINNESS PRO12 and of course the RBS 6 Nations.
David Wilkinson is the first IRFU referee in action for this weekend’s round of fixtures as he takes charge of Connacht’s away GUINNESS PRO12 fixture against the Newport Gwent Dragons tonight in Rodney Parade.
Tomorrow evening in the PRO12, Andy Brace will be the man in the middle at Parc y Scarlets for the game between the Scarlets and Edinburgh.
Closer to home, Leo Colgan and Mark Connolly will be assistant referees for the clash between Leinster and Zebre, while Gary Conway and Paul Haycock will run the touchlines when Ulster welcome Glasgow Warriors.
On Saturday in the RBS 6 Nations, George Clancy will referee the clash of Wales and Scotland at the Millennium Stadium and will be assisted on one touchline by John Lacey.
Dudley Phillips will referee Benetton Treviso and Cardiff Blues, and in the Ulster Bank League, Frank Murphy takes charge of Young Munster and Galwegians and Paul Haycock will travel to Stevenson Park to referee Dungannon and Sunday’s Well.
In Irish Independent Park on Sunday, Mark Patton and Jonathan Peak will be assistant referees for the PRO12 game between Munster and the Ospreys.
