White to referee Magner's League final

English referee Chris White has been appointed to referee the inaugural Magners League Grand Final between Leinster and Ospreys at The RDS next Saturday.

This comes on the back of a recent blast from Brian O'Driscoll about the low standards of the refereeing in the Magner's League.

White will lead an international team of officials. Scotsmen Andy Macpherson and David Changleng will be his Assistant Referees, whilst to ensure impartiality, two Munster Branch IRFU appointees, Leo Colgan and Dermot Moloney, will act as 4th and 5th Officials respectively. Scotland's Jim Yuille, completes the group as Television Match Official (TMO).
