World Rugby have confirmed the match official appointments for the Nations Championship matches taking place in Europe in November, and which will see the Springboks face Italy, Ireland and France, as well as one final opponent (still to be determined).
Sixteen referees from nine nations will take charge of the 18 Nations Championship matches played from 6-21 November with Andrew Brace (Ireland) and Pierre Brousset (France) handed two matches.
The appointments for the Finals weekend at Allianz Stadium in Twickenham from 27-29 November will be announced once rankings are confirmed after the conclusion of the Northern Hemisphere Series.
For the Springboks, their clash against Italy on 7 November will be refereed by Eoghan Cross of Ireland, while Italy’s Andrea Piardi will take charge of the big battle against France the week after.
When it comes to the Springboks’ Test against Ireland on 21 November, Christophe Ridley from England will be the man in the middle.
