SANZAR refs for Tri-Nations
Because the Tri-Nations this year will be played under the experimental law variations, only SANZAR referees will referee the matches as they have had experience of the ELVs in the Super 14.
A surprise omission is Mark Lawrence of South Africa who had an excellent Super 14 and was only recently restored to the IRB’s panel of referees.
