Currie Cup Final, a record tied in the Aviva Premiership and other weekend referee appointments

Jaco Peyper will referee his third Currie Cup Final in six seasons today when the Cell C Sharks host DHL Western Province at Growthpoint Kings Park in Durban. Today’s match marks back-to-back Currie Cup Final appointments for 37-year-old Peyper which is a repeat of his first Final in 2012. Peyper will be assisted by Egon Seconds and AJ Jacobs  with Marius Jonker in the TV booth.

In England, Wayne Barnes returns from the Bledisloe Cup last weekend to tie with Chris White’s record of 190 top level Premiership matches. He heads to Kingston Park to preside over Newcastle Falcons’ home tie with Leicester Tigers on Sunday.

In Norway, Ireland’s Joy Neville becomes the second female to referee a Rugby Europe men’s international as they take on Denmark.
