Referees to 9 July 2017
It is going to be a huge occasion after the Lions levelled the series at 1-1 after winning in the Wellington we. It could just be the match of the century so far.
A match such as this is part of a referee's optimistic dream. For Romain Poite it is a reality, a wonderful opportunity, a great responsibility. All the rugby referees of the world would want to wish him well.
In Rugby Africa's Gold Cup match in Windhoek, Egon Seconds – a former Super Rugby and Springboks Sevens player – will be refereeing his very first Test. Congratulations and best wishes.
