IRB Test appointments
Tue, 29 Apr 2008 12:58
The International Rugby Board has announced its appointment of referees to Tests and other international matches under its aegis in May, June and July.
The appointments to Tri-Nations matches have not yet been made as a decision is still to be made about which set of laws will apply - the experimental law variations as in the Super 14 or the standard laws as applied in the Northern Hemisphere.
