Referee confirmed for Saturday’s Pro 14 final

Mike Adamson has been confirmed as the referee for Saturday’s Guinness Pro 14 final between Munster and Leinster.

The 36-year-old will become the first Scotsman to take charge of a Pro 14 final when he takes to the field in the RDS this weekend.

He is no stranger to the big occasion having overseen the game between the sides in the 2019 semi-final, before lining out as assistant in the final the following week.

It continues an impressive season for Adamson who refereed his first Guinness Six Nations fixture in early February, overseeing England’s home win against Italy.

The 36-year-old also recently refereed his 50th game in the Guinness PRO14 last month having made his Championship debut in 2016

The rest of the match official panel for the game at the RDS Arena has also been confirmed. Sean Gallagher and Chris Busby (IRFU) will serve as Assistant Referees while Joy Neville (IRFU) has been appointed as Television Match Official.
