Refereeing appointments announced for 2022 Six Nations

World Rugby has announced the Emirates match officials for the Guinness Six Nations 2022, which kicks off on 5 February.

While the global COVID-19 pandemic continues to challenge logistics, it has been possible to select from the widest available group since 2019, with almost all top match officials able to travel.

As a result, 13 referees representing eight unions will take charge of the Championship’s 15 matches.
