also refereed over 100 RU<br />
Sevens games including a<br />
World Cup, and he was told<br />
that he would have been<br />
given the <strong>Final</strong> in 2009 had<br />
Wales not been in it.<br />
Amongst his highlights was<br />
refereeing Saracens v South<br />
Africa at Wembley Stadium<br />

and I have been working<br />
hard to promote refereeing<br />
in Wales. We both been<br />

“There are still four years<br />
until the 2021 World Cup<br />
in England and I know that<br />
the RLIF want to see nations<br />
develop their match officials<br />
as well as the players. I hope<br />
we’ll see an influx of new<br />
officials that can qualify and<br />

UK, which could eventually<br />
lead to international call-up.<br />

Hunslet which is looks like it’s<br />
going to be an outstanding<br />
game.”<br />
A report on this weekend’s<br />
clash between Oxford and<br />
Hunslet can be found in<br />
the next edition of League<br />
Express, in the shops next<br />
