Hollie Davidson is set to make history as the first woman to referee a men's Six Nations match. The Scottish official will take charge of the clash between Italy and Wales in Rome on Saturday.
Davidson, 30, has previously officiated in the Women's Six Nations and the World Rugby Sevens Series. She will be assisted by fellow Scottish officials Mike Adamson and Calum Kerr.
The appointment marks a significant milestone for gender equality in rugby, with Davidson becoming the first female referee in the tournament's 139-year history.
