12th December 2007 : NAWIRA's Photo of the Year

History was made at the IRB World Series Sevens, San Diego in February.

Dana Teagarden (of the USA) became the first woman to referee a senior men’s international match.

And didn’t she do well, being appointed by the IRB’s Paddy O’Brien to fully six matches over the weekend, including the tough Bowl final between Argentina and Tonga!

We can all be very proud of Dana. She smashed any ‘glass ceiling’ that might have existed, and Rugby is a better place today because of her achievements.

My [Tom Jones, IRB Regional GM] choice for Information Page Photograph of the Year shows Dana refereeing the West Indies v Fiji match, with thanks to Randall Mar.
