Irish replacement brought in to ref Heineken Cup semi-final

Alain Rolland has been replaced by Alan Lewis for the Heineken Cup semi-final match between London Irish and Toulouse at Twickenham Stadium on Saturday, April 26.

Former Ireland scrum-half Rolland is always a likely option for Anglo-French matches as he is bi-lingual because of his French mother.

Lewis will take charge of his third tournament semi-final and his 52nd Heineken Cup match overall. Lewis, a former Irish international cricketer, also refereed at the 2003 and 2007 Rugby World Cups.
