Ireland referee Andrew Brace will take charge of the eagerly awaited showdown between the Stormers and Vodacom Bulls in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship final on Saturday.

Brace will be assisted during the URC finale at Cape Town Stadium by South Africans Jaco Peyper and AJ Jacobs, while Marius van der Westhuizen is the TMO.

It is the second time Brace has been handed the responsibility for the league decider, having blown the whistle for the 2021 PRO14 final between Leinster and Ulster in Dublin.

Scotland match official Mike Adamson’s handling of the semi-final win for the Stormers over Ulster in Cape Town on Saturday was slammed by former Springbok coach Nick Mallett.

A controversial try from Ulster wing Rob Baloucoune, where the final pass was clearly forward from fullback Stewart Moore, was missed. Adamson also sent off Stormers lock Adre Smith for an alleged eye gouge on Iain Henderson with 10 minutes to play.
