Ben O’Keeffe will be the man in the middle as the third weekend of the Guinness Six Nations gets under way between Italy and Scotland at 2:15pm on Saturday.
Both sides are searching for their first win of the Championship this year with Scotland aiming for a fifth successive Guinness Six Nations victory over the Azzurri.
The New Zealander will be supported by Mathieu Raynal (France) and Ben Whitehouse (Wales) on the touchlines, while England’s Rowan Kitt is set for TMO duties.
Later that afternoon the action continues at the Principality Stadium with an all-English team officiating proceedings between Wales and France.
Les Bleus are two from two so far as they look to claim a first Guinness Six Nations title since 2010, which incidentally, was the last time they beat Wales in Cardiff.
Matthew Carley will oversee matters on the pitch, while Wayne Barnes and Karl Dickson have been appointed assistants for the clash. Graham Hughes will be the game’s TMO, which kicks off at 4.45pm.
In Sunday’s heavyweight clash between England and Ireland, Jaco Peyper (South Africa) will be in charge alongside assistants Romain Poite and Alexandre Ruiz.
In their previous six Championship encounters, England and Ireland have recorded three wins apiece, so a nail-biter is expected when the two teams meet.
Marius Jonker (South Africa) will be TMO for the clash at Twickenham Stadium, which gets under way at 3pm.
