    The referees who will take charge of the three Lions Tests against South Africa this summer have been confirmed by the International Rugby Board.

    New Zealand's Bryce Lawrence will take charge of the first Test with France's Christophe Berdos and Stuart Dickinson of Australia named for the other games.

    "They are all highly experienced members of the high-performance panel," said IRB referee manager Paddy O'Brien.

    New Zealand's Vinny Munro will run the line in all three Tests.

    "We met with the Lions and South Africa team management last month," added O'Brien. "All were in favour of the appointment of neutral match officials for the Test series."

    The Tests take place in Durban on 20 June, Pretoria on 27 June and Johannesburg on 4 July.

    Sorry but Berdos?? That's surely taking the piss, i mean its highly likely that both teams may just turn on him and give him a dig for making no sense what so ever.

    Wow, Berdos is a strange one. Don't think he's good enough. With all the home nations and Saffer refs out I guess it doesn't leave that many.

    I really hope that not true about berdos ref. Since Walsh "retired" he is now probably the worst ref

    He's reffing one of the games as is Alain Rolland but not a test match.

    There's a lack of decent refs outside of the British Isles and SA imo so there aren't too many to choose from for this.

    What happened Joel Jutge anyone know, used like him...
