Lacey continues rise with Bok match
John Lacey of Ireland, who in his day played fullback and wing for Munster and Ireland A, is continuing his remarkable progress in the top refereeing world, this time appointed to the match at Millennium Stadium.
The 41-year-old from Tipperary stopped playing in 2007 and was being appointed to top matches already in 2008. In 2010 he was on an IRB Panel and in 2012 he refereed his first Test match. The match between Wales and South Africa will be his 11th Test. In addition he refereed a match between England and the Barbarians at Twickenham.
In June this year Lacey refereed a Rugby Championship match between South Africa and Argentina. He has also refereed a Test involving Wales - Wales vs Argentina in Cardiff a year ago.
