Andrew Brace, who will referee the 6 Nations Tournament match between England and France on Saturday, is no stranger. He had been criticized for his refereeing during the final of the Autumn Nations Cup on December 6 at Twickenham, where England ended up winning after extra time (22-19) against a French team bis. Galthié was then forced to do without his typical team, which had reached the quota of three match sheets authorized by the clubs for the autumn tests.

Asked about the subject, Raphaël Ibañez claims not to have been “At all surprised, we were informed quite early”. The manager of the Blues recalled that the South African referee Jaco Peyper was initially to be on the whistle but that travel restrictions linked to the Covid-19 pandemic compromised his trip to Europe.
“Andrew Brace has in turn been nominated for this match tomorrow (Saturday). I have no particular comment to make on Andrew Brace that we just had on video with Fabien (Galthié, the coach) and the leading players. Communication is very good. Everything is clear with him while waiting for this match ”, continued Ibanez.
