Who is the referee for Wales vs New Zealand?

The ref for the Wales-New Zealand clash at the Principality Stadium is Hollie Davidson.

Last month she became the first female referee to be inducted into the Scottish Rugby Hall of Fame, and today she will become the first woman to take charge of an All Blacks game.

Davidson has a degree in economic history from Edinburgh University.
