England Karl Dickson is one of the 2025 nations officials.
The former professional player ended a long high -level career in 2017 after having barely missed a cap in England.
The younger brother Lee, also half of melee, appeared 18 times for his country between 2012 and 2014.
Although he may not have reached the international level as a player, the brother of Dickson Elder quickly increased in the ranks of the arbitrations after starting his offering trip while playing for Harlequins.
He joined the Rugby Union (PGMOT) Professional Rugby Football (PGMOT) team of Rugby Football, and three years later, took precedence over the test.
The start of the six nations arrived last year and cut the first World Cup in the fall of 2023 as one of the four English referees.
Dickson has refereed a number of swimming pool games at the tournament, before being pressed in emergency tasks during the first quarter -final between Wales and Argentina.
Having been appointed assistant, the injury of Achille de Jaco Peyper noted that the 41 -year -old man was forced to take over as an arbitrator, supervising the narrow victory of the Pumas.
A meeting like one of the Wayne Barnes assistants for the final followed as part of a fully English officiant team.
