Referees to 13 April 2015
Lent is over and so is Easter but rugby continues, in the North as a club contest, in the South dominated by Super Rugby.
Last Saturday there was a change because Marius van der Westhuizen withdrew from his match in Durban.. He was in Durban for the match but was in hospital at the time, operated on on Saturday morning for a burst appendix. But he says he is well and back home in Cape Town and that the recovery time will be short.
In the North American & Caribbean Rugby Association's Championship, two Canadian ladies are appointed, one as a referee and one as an assistant referee.
In the Koshuis Final of the Varsity Cup in South Africa, the referee is Jacques Nieuwenhuis, who played for Namibia in two World Cups and for the Valke at provincial level.
