Davidson to make history as she referees South Africa v Portugal Test

HOLLIE DAVIDSON will make rugby union history tomorrow when she becomes the first woman to referee world champions South Africa in a Test match.

“I think it will be a really energetic game at altitude, so that is a challenge in itself, but I think the occasion will be fantastic,” Davidson told Scottish Rugby following her appointment to the fixture.
