Refereeing appointments made for final rounds of Champions Cup

After Wayne Barnes’ performance in Munster’s loss to Castres, the refeering appointments for the final two rounds of the Champions Cup have been made.

For the round 5 clash against Glocuester, Roman Poite will be in charge as Munster travel to England where a win will put them in pole position to qualify for the knockout stages.

His French compatriot Jerome Garces will take charge of the final game in Thomond Park against the Exeter Chiefs. Indeed Garces was the ref when these sides played out a 10-10 draw in the reverse fixture.
