Referees to 29 October 2017
There are three other finals in South Africa plus a desperate promotion-relegation match. All if that means five sets of match officials on their toes. The four referees are Jaco Peyper, Marius van der Westhuizen. Stephan Geldenhuys, Vusi Msibi and Cwengile Jadezweni.
In New Zealand there are four finals. The referees are Paul Williams, Mike Fraser, Michael Winter and James Munro.
Referees all over the world would want to congratulate them and wish them well.
They would want to do the same for Joy Neville of Ireland who follows Alhambra Nievas in refereeing a men's international when she does the Scandinavian derby between Norway and Sweden.
