Referees to 30 January 2017
Time flies. January is already at an end with the Sevens in Wellington to brighten it and in the South Super Rugby stirs again with new man Egon Seconds to referee a warm-up match in Harare.
In his playing days, Seconds was a strong, fast wing, a top player – Western Province at Under-19, Under-21, Currie Cup, Griquas Currie Cup, the Stormers, South Africa A and the Blitsbokke. Playing days over at the end of 2009, he took up refereeing with the Western Province Referees' Society and has shown great aptitude for that and is now on SANZAAR's Super Rugby Panel.
