Referees to 28 July 2013
The quiet continues but in SANZAR lands it is an ominous quiet as all three countries have an intense interest in the semifinals, one in Hamilton, New Zealand, and one in Pretoria, South Africa, both with top referees.
Steve Walsh will be in Hamilton, Craig Joubert in Pretoria.
In South Africa two gut-wrenching matches start when the Southern Kings and the Lions meet to see who will be in Super Rugby next year. Jaco Peyper will referee that one.
