COX RAISES THE FLAG AGAIN WITH LATEST FIRST

SARA COX made history at Bath by becoming the first female assistant referee in a Premiership match. It is the latest landmark for the 30-year-old (left), who officiated at both the 2014 and 2017 Women’s Rugby World Cups, became the first centrally contracted female referee with the RFU in 2016 and went on to take charge of a Premiership Rugby Cup clash in 2018.
