SANZAR has announced that Craig Joubert and Steve Walsh will take charge of this weekend's Super Rugby semi-finals.

Australia-based New Zealander Walsh, who refereed last year's final, will take charge of the Chiefs' showdown with the Crusaders in Hamilton on Saturday. South African Joubert, who was the man in the middle for the 2011 Rugby World Cup Final, has been handed the Bulls' clash with the Brumbies at Loftus Versfeld later the same day.

The Crusaders progressed to the semi-finals with a 38-9 thrashing of the Reds in Christchurch on Saturday to set up a date with the top seeds and their New Zealand rivals. The Brumbies booked their place in the final four with a narrow 15-13 victory over the Cheetahs in Canberra on Sunday.
