White Air
Max Australia .Joubert, who refereed the 2011 Rugby World Cup
final, will continue on the sevens circuit but steps away from the 15s game.He
joins World Rugby -- reporting into sevens and 15s high performance referees
managers, Paddy OBrien and Alain Rolland, respectively - in a role focused on
referee talent identification and coaching.This was not a decision I took
lightly given the obvious lure of possibly refereeing the British and Irish
Lions in New Zealand next year as well as the Rugby World Cup in Japan in 2019,
Joubert said.However, the opportunity to make a difference in other peoples
careers and lives is something which Im excited about. It really is a dream
job.Over the past few years I have taken Rasta Rasivhenge under my wing and have
mentored and coached him and it has been enormously rewarding to see him grow as
a person and as a referee.This position gives me the opportunity to play a more
formal role in sharing my experiences and developing referees and to have a
positive influence on the lives and careers of other young referees.I am also
thrilled that I will continue to referee on the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series
as we build our team of referees towards the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. I love the
sevens environment and being a part of this very special team.Joubert has vast
experience in refereeing 15 and has presided over 69 Tests since his took charge
of his first international back in 2003 when he refereed Nambias game against
Uganda.The pinnacle of his refereeing career saw him take charge of the 2011
World Cup final but four years later he was in the spotlight at the 2015 World
Cup for his controversial late call to award Australia a penalty in their
quarter-final which saw Scotland knocked out of the tournament. It was a call
World Rugby later clarified as incorrect.But he now joins the games governing
body to help bring through the next generation of referees.World Rugby match
officials selection committee chairman Anthony Buchanan said: I would like to
thank Craig for his dedication and service throughout a wonderful refereeing
career.He has been a world-class referee for many years now and has officiated
at the very highest levels of the game in both 15s and sevens.It has been a
pleasure to work with him during his active refereeing career and I have no
doubt he will continue to contribute to the game in his new position.I expect
his vast experience and his extensive knowledge of the game will be a huge asset
to us as we continue to develop the worlds top match officials.
