S14: Referees for Week 13
Craig Joubert will blow the final whistle on the league part of the Super 14 when he takes charge of the last match – between the Sharks and the Bulls, a match of no small significance.
Garratt Williamson of New Zealand will referee his first Super 14 match with Mark Lawrence on the touch-line. It’s not easy to explain a merit system when this happens.
Jonathan Kaplan is in Australasia, presumably in preparation for a semifinal.
