Jérôme Garcès ‚ Nigel Owens ‚ Jaco Peyper and Wayne Barnes will take charge of the four matches in Tokyo and Oita over the weekend.
Garcès will officiate his second RWC quarterfinal as England face Australia in Oita on Saturday‚ while Owens will take charge of world champions New Zealand against Ireland at Tokyo Stadium on the same day.Although they won’t say so publicly‚ the Springboks will be mightily relieved they did not get Garcès in their quarterfinal.In their last 10 Tests with Garcès in the middle‚ the Boks have won just once.
He was the referee when the Boks lost to the All Blacks in Yokohama on the opening weekend of the tournament.Of the 14 Tests he took the whistle in a match involving the Boks‚ the Green and Gold were triumphant on 11 occasions.Had Barnes been assigned to their match they would no doubt have been drawn into a debate about how the Englishman failed to spot a forward pass that led to what turned out to be a match winning try for France by Yannick Jauzion in the quarterfinal in Cardiff in 2007.
