Meiring Gets Big CW Match
It is the most prestigious match of the week as the two teams playing in that match are considered the best of the week and the winner as the Craven Week champion, a title that does not exist in reality.

This year he was promoted to the National Panel of South African Referees, along with Egon Seconds and Pieter Maritz, who are also refereeing at the 2016 Craven Week. In 2014 Meiring
Johre Botha of the Valke, who is originally from Namibia, will referee the last match of the Academy Week, between Western Province and Blue Bulls.
