Six Nations referee Andrew Brace turns up to take charge of Welsh under-7s match

Two Welsh junior rugby teams got a surprise last weekend when Six Nations referee Andrew Brace stopped by to officiate their match.

The official took charge of Ospreys v Benetton on Saturday, March 4, but was still feeling fresh enough to pay a visit to Tonna RFC the following morning, where he was tasked with refereeing their under-7s side as they took on Taibach RFC in a game of tag rugby.

Brace, who was born and bred in Cardiff but is assigned to the Irish Rugby Union, was recently the man in the middle for Wales' Six Nations defeat to Scotland, but enjoyed a change of pace as he oversaw the contest and provided some words of wisdom to the youngsters starting their rugby journey.
