Davidson became the first female match official to take charge of a Bok Test last year against Portugal in Bloemfontein. Her appointment was confirmed by World Rugby on Thursday, along with the match officials for all the July internationals and the British & Irish Lions series in Australia.

Andrew Brace of Ireland (second Test against Italy on 12 July in Gqeberha) and Matthew Carley of England (Georgia Test on 19 July in Nelspruit) are the other two referees for the Springbok Tests in the Castle Lager Incoming Series.

Marius Jonker and Marius van der Westhuizen have been handed a number of Television Match Official (TMO) and Foul Play Review Official (FPRO) appointments for the series between the Wallabies and the British & Irish Lions in Australia.

Jonker will be the FPRO in the second Test in Melbourne, and the TMO in the third Test in Sydney and before that, when Samoa take on Scotland on 18 July.

Morne Ferreira, who will referee the Test between USA and Spain in Charlotte, North Carolina (12 July), has also been handed Assistant Referee (AR) duties on 27 June (Namibia v Italy in Windhoek), and 19 July (USA v England in Washington DC).

Aimee Barrett-Theron has one AR appointment – in Windhoek on 27 June – while Jonker is the TMO in the Namibian capital before Italy come to South Africa.
