The Match Officials for all End Of Year Tours (November Internationals) as well as all other rugby of significance have been named.
South African referee, Jaco Peyper, is appointed for the England vs Samoa match and Glen Jackson will officiate in the Ireland vs Australia game in Dublin.
South Africa gets another French referee, Jérôme Garcès for the clash against Italy in Padua, whereas the Wales vs All Blacks game in Cardiff will be handled by Stuart Barnes.

Jeeez, the Bokke always seem to get the same referees.. and a hell of a lot of Frenchies to boot!
Wasn’t Garces the AR who varked up with the Brian Habana incident on Sat?
Maybe our RT conspiracy theorists will have a word or two to say in this regard?
1 @ Scrumdown:
I see that he was indeed one of the AR’s, and I’m almost certain it was he who managed to butcher the decision.
Has he been given a chance at redeption by the IRB?????????
I truly believe author Peter James is in need of serious counselling.
Herewith a review of his “Want You Dead”, yours for R109-90 & available at your nearest Flea Market:
“Thirty-year old Red Cameron meets the man of her dreams through an online dating agency. Bryce Laurent is charming, handome and rich but as there relationship becomes serious, the truth about his dark past begins to emerge. Everything he has told Red about himself turns out to be lies, and her infatuation with him gradually turns to terror.”
You be the judge…
