French referee Mathieu Raynal will retire at the end of the season. The 43-year-old will officiate his 50th test during the July international window.
He will become the fourth French referee to pass 50 international call-ups. World Rugby's head of men's elite match officials, Joël Jutge, paid tribute to RayNal. The Catalan has refereed three World Cups, a British Lions tour, the Six Nations Tournament, the Rugby Championship and the World Cup.
