Super Refs Rounds 11 & 12
Consonant with present practice the referees are being appointed now for two rounds at a time, as against four formerly. This presumably gives greater flexibility in appointments.
It is clear from these appointments that the idea of 'unattached' match officials are dying out in Super Rugby.
