It will probably be the first real Tri-Nations match this weekend when A Team plays A Team with Craig Joubert to referee it. The television match official is Glen Jackson, once a top player and now a top referee.

There is a change to the European friendlies as Jonathan Kaplan has been forced by injury to withdraw.
