George Clancy set for 100th Guinness PRO14 Appearance
This weekend George Clancy will become only the second referee to reach a century of appearances in the Guinness PRO14 when he takes charge of Scarlets versus Glasgow Warriors on Saturday.
Last year, Nigel Owens (WRU) made his 150th appearance in the Championship and will now be joined by Clancy as the only match officials in the Guinness PRO14 to have made 100 or more appearances. “This season we have done a lot of work to strengthen our processes around preparation, performance and review while working even closer with the Referee Managers across all of our participating unions. It is rewarding to see a number of officials make their debuts this season, but the role played by the likes of George, Nigel Owens and John Lacey ensures that our next generation of referees have a high standard to emulate.”
Clancy Profile The IRFU match official made his Championship debut on October 15, 2004 taking charge of Borders versus Newport-Gwent Dragons in a game that finished 14-6 in favour of the Welsh side. In 2009, Clancy held the whistle for the European Challenge Cup Final, a fixture which he would again officiate in 2011. In total, Clancy has made 89 appearances in Europe which is second only to Nigel Owens.
