Referee appointments for round four of the 2021 Guinness Six Nations, including the Ireland vs England referee in Dublins this weekend.
A nerveless late penalty from Jonny Sexton earned Ireland a 27-24 victory against Scotland in Edinburgh, as they made it two wins in a row after opening the 2021 Guinness Six Nations with two defeats.
England were also involved in a tight contest, as Maro Itoje’s try with four minutes left earned them a 23-20 win over France that ended their opponents’ Grand Slam hopes.
Ireland will be keen to avenge the 32-20 defeat England inflicted on them during their last visit to Dublin, during the 2019 Guinness Six Nations.
