Referees to 21 March 2016
There is still the Grand Slam to be decided but France will have to improve mightily to deny England.
Super Rugby goes into its fourth round, and this time the Jaguares get home ground – a genuinely home match, not over five thousand kilometres from home as the Sunwolves had last Saturday. The Sunwolves are in Tokyo this weekend for their third home match. They have travelled nearly 12 000 kilometres for their home matches.
The referee who jets about this weekend in Mike Fraser of New Plymouth, down in the west corner of North Island. His Super Rugby appointments for four weeks read Tokyo, Pretoria, Cape Town and back to Tokyo.
Chris Pollock referees the first Super Rugby match to be played in Argentina.
