As I've worked with Lynon Bray (Women's World Cup), Garratt Willisamson, Jaco Pepyer and Tappe Henning (7s World Cup), it's good to see these guys making the news for all the right reasons!
SANZAR has announced the team of referees from Australia, New Zealand and South Africa to whistle the Investec Bank 2010 Super 14 competition.
Acting SANZAR Referee Manager Lyndon Bray announced a core team of eight Super Rugby referees, and a reserve panel of nine referees who will have the chance to officiate at Super Rugby level as required.
All eight referees in the core ‘merit’ panel have extensive experience at Super Rugby and international level. This team of lead referees includes four international referees from South Africa, three from New Zealand and one from Australia.
“We are very fortunate to have such a strong team of internationally experienced referees – they set a very high standard of performance across all three SANZAR nations,” Bray said.
The selections see a return to Super Rugby for former New Zealand and international referee Steve Walsh after a one-year absence. Walsh, who now referees in Australia, will start in the reserve panel alongside Air New Zealand Cup referees Vinny Munro (New Zealand) and Nathan Pearce (Australia), and six other SANZAR referees.
“It’s great to have this high calibre of referees in the reserve crew and we fully expect that they will be promoted quickly into the senior group of starting referees for Super Rugby.
"Steve Walsh is an experienced international referee and we welcome his experience into the camp. Several referees in the reserve panel, whom have previously refereed Super 14 matches, will have the opportunity to seek promotion to the merit panel, subject to form,” Bray said.
The Super Rugby referees and reserves have been selected for the first time under a new SANZAR selection process.
The new SANZAR Referee Selectors - Colin Hawke (New Zealand), Andrew Cole (Australia) and Tappe Henning (South Africa) - will closely monitor referee performances as part of a promotion/relegation system.
“This performance-based system ensures we are open, transparent and accountable as match officials,” Bray said.
An unusually large number of reserve referees had been named in anticipation that some of them would be promoted quickly into the core group."
The referees selected for 2010 Super Rugby match official duty:
Merit Panel: Jonathan Kaplan, Craig Joubert, Mark Lawrence, Marius Jonker (South Africa)Bryce Lawrence, Chris Pollock, Keith Brown (New Zealand)Stuart Dickinson (Australia).
Reserve Panel: Steve Walsh, Nathan Pearce, Paul Marks, Ian Smith (Australia), Jaco Peyper, Pro Legoete (South Africa), Vinny Munro, Garratt Williamson, Jonathon White (New Zealand).
