| Not quite sure why KD needs 2 games, especially as both involve | |
| Ireland | |
| Paul Williams absence is unfortunate as I rate him | |
| Good to see debuts in Davidson and Ramos | |
| England get a mixed bag - hopefully Brousset continues to | |
| improve, as with Piradi | |
| Nika in Edinburgh will be a good test and pleased we have Berry | |
| in France | |
| Otherwise it's keep your whistle warm - Scotland have some very | |
| good referees in their games | |

| Totally agree. World Rugby seem to have a thing about Dickson | |
| and keep pushing him but I find his decision making random and | |
| consider Pearce and Ridley both better referees. No need for 2 | |
| games | |
| The omission of Williams is worrying unless this is for personal | |
| reasons. A good ref and far better than Doleman in my opinion. | |
| Is it maybe that WR are looking ahead to 2027 and gradually | |
| �dropping� some of their 2023 cohort? Hope not as he is one of | |
| the better refs | |
