Joubert, Walsh to ref qualifiers

Cape Town - Craig Joubert and Steve Walsh will referee this weekend's Super Rugby qualifiers when the competition reaches its business end.

The South African referee will be on duty when the Brumbies host the Chiefs in Canberra on Saturday (kick-off 11:40 SA time), while Walsh will handle the Sharks v Highlanders clash in Durban (17:05).

The semi-finals are scheduled for the following Saturday, with the first-placed Waratahs to host the lowest-ranked qualifier, and second-placed Crusaders to host the highest-ranked qualifier.

If the Sharks beat the Highlanders, they will travel to Christchurch to tackle the Crusaders.
