Referees to 25 July

The Springboks move up from wet Wellington to sunny Brisbane for their third Tri-Nations match in three weeks. For the Wallabies it will be their first of 2010. For the third week in a row the referee is Irish, a replacement for injured New Zealander Bryce Lawrence.

The match in Harare, the last of the Victoria Cup, has been cancelled following the bomb blast at the rugby club in Kampala
