S14: Another ref withdraws
Thu, 25 Feb 2010 10:53

Nathan Pearce of Australia has had to withdraw from his appointment to referee  the match at Westpac Stadium between the Hurricanes and the Lions on Saturday evening.

Pearce damaged a hamstring a while back.

His place is taken by Paul Marks, who, like Pearce, is on the reserve panel of Super 14 referees.

Up till now Pearce has refereed four Super Rugby matches, while Marks has refereed 20.

Pearce is the second withdrawal for this weekend, following Stuart Dickinson who withdrew from the match in Bloemfontein between the Cheetahs and the Highlanders because of an injured calf muscle.
