Details above. As expected a good workload for all the refs, touch judges and TMOs appointed for the World Cup.

4 SH refs- O'Keefe, Gardner, Williams and Berry - plus Garces and Poite from France are appointed to the 6 Rugby Championship matches. An additional NZ v Australia warm up game goes to Peyper so good luck on that one!

I know the Wales v England games are both "friendlies" but the thought of Gauzere of all people in charge of one of them doesn't fill me with much confidence. Raynal on the other is a much more pleasing appointment.

I see that Carley and Dickson are paired together quite a lot as touch judges - maybe a sign of things to come in Japan?

Feels strange not seeing Barnes on the list!

He is touch judge in the France v Scotland and Ireland v Wales warm ups and Ref for the Scotland v France match
