Referees and times for Super 14 semis

[beige]

Australian official Stuart Dickinson will be handed the whistle for Saturday's Super 14 semi-final between the Bulls and Crusaders at Orlando Stadium.

After the fallout of the duo's last clash at Loftus just over a week ago when a South African referee was in charge, SANZAR have gone with a neutral man.

The decision comes a day after 2010's Super 14 final four were confirmed, with the Stormers taking on the Waratahs in Cape Town the other semi.

South African referee Mark Lawrence will take charge of the game at Newlands as SANZAR also announced the game schedule of the last-four.

Both Super 14 semi-finals will be held in South Africa on Saturday, May 22.

Bulls v Crusaders at Orlando Stadium at 17:05 (local time)
Referee: Stuart Dickinson
Assistant Referees: Jonathan Kaplan, Reuben Rossouw
TMO: Johan Meeuwesen

Stormers v Waratahs at Newlands at 19:10 (local time)

Surprised that all three Finals aren't neutral officials to avoid any chance of bad press on that front actually.
