The IRB today announced that Australia will have a presence in the 2014 Women’s Rugby World Cup Final with Sydney’s Amy Perrett appointed to referee the clash between England and Canada on Monday morning (AEST) in Paris.

The 25-year-old, who refereed her first top grade men’s XV’s game last month in Sydney’s Shute Shield club Rugby competition, also took charge of the Semi-Final between England and Ireland and has impressed throughout the tournament.

Scott Young, Pathway Services Manager – Officiating at the Australian Rugby Union, said: “This is wonderful news for Amy and for officiating in Australia.

Canberra’ Sarah Corrigan refereed the 2010 Women’s Rugby World Cup Final.
