With two-time World Cup Final referee Nigel Owens hanging up his whistle from the international game in the Autumn, a new generation of Welsh officials has emerged with Evans and fellow countryman Adam Jones among some of World Rugby’s best upcoming officials.
Evans joined the WRU’s professional officiating ranks in 2015 after already having refereed in the LV Cup and Indigo Welsh Premiership where he is extremely high thought of. The West Walian has also picked up some international officiating experience on the HSBC World 7s Circuit, refereeing the Cup Final in his debut tournament in Dubai in 2016.

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
