Super 14 Final Refs

All four South African officials who were in charge of the Super 14 semifinal between the Hurricanesnd the Waratahs will control Saturday's final between the Hurricanes and the Crusaderrs in Christchurch. The New Zealand Rugby Union has announced that Jonathan Kaplan will referee the match while Craig Joubert and Tappe Henning will run the touchlines and Jerome Fortuin will be the television match official. This is despite an official complaint lodged against the match officials by the Waratahs after their 16-14 defeat in last Friday's semifinal. Their complaint focuses mainly on the 70th-minute penalty for a scrum infraction - on the Waratahs' feed - which clinched the match for the home team.
