Scotland vs England referee, BT Murrayfield, Edinburgh, Saturday, 5 February, 2022
- Referee: Ben O’Keeffe (NZR)
- Assistant Referee 1: Nic Berry (RA)
- Assistant Referee 2: Craig Evans (WRU)

O’Keeffe also has a career away from rugby, explaining in 2019: “Certainly, no one can question my eyesight. I’m an Ophthalmologist. I’ve been lucky enough to balance both careers over the last couple of years as being a professional referee has become a full-time commitment.” Dr O’Keeffe co-founded oDocs Eye Care.
Eddie Jones was reprimanded by the Rugby Football Union chief executive, Bill Sweeney, and warned over his future behaviour following his stinging criticism of O’Keeffe after England’s Six Nations victory over Wales in 2020.
