Irish ref Roland to officiate in Heineken Cup

IRISH referee Alain Rolland will take charge of the Heineken Cup semi-final between Leicester and Toulouse at the Walkers Stadium on April 24.

Rolland, 39, controlled last season’s final when Wasps pipped Toulouse in a Twickenham thriller.

The all-French encounter between Stade Francais and Biarritz in Paris 24 hours earlier will be refereed by English official Tony Spreadbury.
