Who are the referees?

Karl Dickson
The solely referee to have been appointed to 2 Six Nations fixtures in 2026 in a transparent assertion of who the authorities imagine is prime of their sport as issues stand. Dickson, the Englishman who refereed final season’s Prem ultimate between Bath and Leicester, has been a mainstay on the worldwide circuit for a while and has risen by means of the ranks to turn out to be one of many sport’s prime officers. If Australia made the 2027 World Cup ultimate and England didn’t, Dickson’s title could be within the combine.

Ben O’Keeffe
O’Keeffe refereed France’s quarter-final exit to South Africa in Paris on the final World Cup and, after his efficiency was met by vitriol by each gamers and public, has not officiated Les Bleus since. When that will likely be – maybe by no means – solely time will inform. The disgrace is that the New Zealander has turn out to be one of many prime 5 referees on the planet, even when he’s a contact lax on the breakdown and the scrum.

Pierre Brousset
France’s crop of officers will not be what it as soon as was – certainly, former Test referees Mathieu Raynal and Romain Poite try to show that round – however Brousset sits on prime of the tree. Question marks stay as as to whether the Frenchman has the temperament and communication for the highest degree. He will likely be refereeing consecutive Tests for England, nevertheless, having overseen the slender autumn victory over Argentina.

Nika Amashukeli
A mainstay now at Test degree and the one common “tier one” referee from a “tier two” nation. The Georgian has developed into one of many world’s pre-eminent referees and, together with Angus Gardner and Karl Dickson, would seem as a front-runner for the World Cup ultimate in 2027 – particularly since it could be miraculous have been Georgia to make it. Amashukeli refereed England towards Australia within the autumn in addition to the Wallabies’ third Test towards the Lions final summer time.

Andrea Piardi
The title of Andrea Piardi won’t have meant a lot to rugby followers two seasons in the past however the Italian has grown into certainly one of European and international rugby’s most trusted officers. Piardi had a superb match as England defeated New Zealand at Twickenham final November, whereas he obtained plaudits for the best way through which he dealt with the decisive second Test of final summer time’s British and Irish Lions tour in Australia.

Italy v England – Luc Ramos
Ramos took cost of two autumn Tests, each obliterations – Scotland towards Tonga and South Africa’s go to to Wales – so the Frenchman will likely be hoping for one thing barely extra aggressive on the prime degree within the Six Nations. He will in all probability get it, too; England will arrive in Rome as sizzling favourites however the Azzurri are all the time much more concentrated, organised and harmful at residence.

France v England – Nic Berry
Given the bookmakers reckon this might be a title – or, even, Grand Slam – decider, what accountability might lie on the shoulders of Berry, the Australian who has bounced again after the disgraceful remedy he obtained by the hands of Rassie Erasmus on the 2021 Lions tour. It is a measure of the person that he has bounced again so successfully, and if something might put together a referee for the strain which may are available Paris, it might effectively have been the occasions of 2021. He took cost of New Zealand’s slender victory over Scotland in November.

When did the Six Nations begin?
