Referees to 3 July 2011
This weekend the Pacific Nations Cup starts and the Super 15 is a match away from ending.
Marius Jonker was down to be the assistant referee at Newlands on Saturday and the referee in Fiji on Sunday. That would have taken a rocket man to do both. Instead Jaco Peyper, fresh from his outstanding refereeing at the Junior World Championship, will take Jonker's place at Newlands.
There are two interesting appointments in the Australian Shute Shield. Sarah Corrigan, who has refereed women's Tests with distinction, is doing one, and Steve Walsh is back refereeing after a long, long lay-off through injury.
