Scotland’s Hollie Davidson to Referee England-New Zealand Rugby Match

Lodged by Annie Wells Standard Motion 30 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Scotland's Hollie Davidson on being picked to referee the Rugby World Cup final between England and New Zealand; notes that she became Scottish Rugby's first full-time professional female referee in 2017 and started officiating Women's Six Nations matches two years later; understands that Hollie was chosen in 2021 as one of the referees for the rugby sevens at the delayed 2020 Olympics; further understands that she has also taken charge of some of the biggest competitions across sevens and 15s, including the women's finals at the Commonwealth Games and Rugby World Cup Sevens, and considers that Hollie created history when she was the first female appointed to referee a men's Six Nations team, with Italy's 38-31 victory over Portugal.
