Jaco Peyper

SANZAR has appointed the referees for Saturday’s Semi-Finals. Jaco Peyper will referee in Sydney, Glen Jackson in Christchurch.

The Crusaders are the only team that played in the 2013 Semi-Finals.

In 2013 the referees for the Semi-Finals were Steve Walsh for the Chiefs vs Crusaders and Craig Joubert for the Vodacom Bulls vs the Brumbies at Loftus Versfeld.

In 2013 Peyper and Jackson were both involved in the Play-Off’s – Peyper for Crusaders vs Reds and Jackson for the Brumbies vs Toyota Cheetahs.

In 2013 Craig Joubert refereed the Final.

Last week Joubert and Walsh refereed the Play-Off’s – in Canberra and Durban.

They are both in Australasia where the Final is likely to be played – unless the Cell C Sharks and the Brumnbies win, in which case the Final will be in Durban.
