Andrew Brace will be the man in the middle of the clash in Edinburgh with fellow Irishmen Eoghan Cross and Robbie Jenkinson as the assistant referees. The Television Match Official (TMO) will be Olly Hodges completing the four man IRFU team.

It will be the first time this season that Brace has refereed a Glasgow Warriors match although Edinburgh and Scotland fans have both seen their matches officiated by him in recent months. The Irishman took charge of Scotland vs Argentina at Murrayfield in the Autumn Nations Test Series back in November just a few weeks after refereeing Cardiff vs Edinburgh at Cardiff Arms Park in the URC.

Hollie Davidson takes charge of the match in Dublin as the Scottish official’s reputation in World Rugby continues to grow. She returns to the Aviva Stadium having been assistant referee for Leinster’s quarter-final win over the Fidelity SecureDrive Lions last time out.

Fellow Scot Sam-Grove White, who took charge of the the last eight encounter at the Aviva, will be one of Davidson’s assistant referees this time out alongside Welshman Adam Jones. The TMO for the match, also representing the Scottish Rugby Union, will be Mike Adamson - the former Glasgow Warriors fly-half and Scotland Sevens player.
