As December closes in, Test matches close down but we have this week the Oceania Cup in Port Moresby and then the exciting prospect of the match between Wales and Australia at Millennium Stadium. Jonathan Kaplan is the referee for that match, his 68th Test match - far and away the biggest number in refereeing history.

And the Sevens go north Dubai and England's Women's again meet the Black Ferns - twice this week after beating them on Saturday.
