Steve Walsh out, Peyper in

Cape Town - A recurring calf injury has forced the withdrawal of Steve Walsh from the refereeing schedule for Rounds 11 and 12 of Super Rugby.
 
Jaco Peyper, recently promoted to the SANZAR Merit Panel after some strong performances, will now referee the South African Conference top-of-the-table clash between the Stormers and the Sharks in Cape Town on Saturday 30 April, whilst Chris Pollock has been been appointed to referee the crucial Round 12 encounter between the Stormers and the Crusaders in Cape Town on Saturday 7 May.
 
With Pollock now travelling to South Africa, Garratt Williamson has been appointed to referee the clash between the Chiefs and the Highlanders in Hamilton on Saturday 7 May.
 
SANZAR Game Manager Lyndon Bray said Walsh was likely to be out of action for three weeks to allow him sufficient time to recover from his injury.
