The team comprises seven New Zealanders, six South Africans, four Australians and one from Japan and one from Argentina.
“The team is a nice blend of Test and Super Rugby experience and emerging talent and is very settled as we head into another season. The experience in the team comes from Jaco Peyper and Glen Jackson, who have referred over 50 Super Rugby matches each, while we also have a group around the 30 mark including Angus Gardner, Nick Briant and Mike Fraser,” said SANZAAR Game Manager, Lyndon Bray.
“Interestingly there are four former Super Rugby players in the team, Glen Jackson, Nic Berry, Jamie Nutbrown and Egon Seconds. All of the referees also recently attended a Super Rugby referee camp in Sydney and are well prepared for kick-off later this month.”
“Glen Jackson Angus Gardner, Jaco Peyper and Ben O’Keeffe are also refereeing matches in this year’s Six Nations in Europe that kicked-off on Saturday,” added Bray.
