Robert Marshall, from the SRDF, will be the man in the middle for the Norwegian NM15 Final 2012.
The referees for the SM Women's finals and U20 finals 2012 have now been assigned.
The second final in the SM Men's series will be refereed by a referee from the UK.
The first game in the SM Men's finals this season has been allocated to a referee from Norway, originally from France. Vincent Bouchet is currently the head of the Norwegian referee society and has been selected as part of an exchange with the Norwegians, putting a Swedish referee on their final for 2011.
Just a short reminder for everyone involved in rugby in Sweden of the IRB Code of Conduct regulations. This applies to all age groups from U7 up to senior rugby.
All referees interested in earning a place on a semi final or final this year will need to be watched by a referee coach, and if possible video of one of their matches should be provided.
