Rugby union referees heading into the autumn internationals will face close scrutiny over scrum management, foul play decisions, and the use of the Television Match Official (TMO).
French official Pierre Brousset has been appointed to referee the England versus Australia match on Sunday, highlighting the experienced personnel selected for the high-profile fixtures.
The autumn series will test how consistently referees apply the laws at the breakdown, around the scrum, and in policing dangerous play, with TMO interventions expected to play a significant role in key moments.
