Match officials named for Champions & Challenge Cup semi-finals

The match officials for the upcoming Champions Cup semi-finals have been named. 

The English duo of Karl Dickson and Matthew Carley are the men entrusted with the whistles for what will be furious contests between four of Europe’s top heavyweights. 

Dickson will take charge at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday where Leinster host defending champions Toulouse before Carley will manage the contest between Racing 92 and La Rochelle at Stade Bollaert-Delelis the following day. 

Turning attention to the Challenge Cup, the Lyon vs Wasps encounter at Matmut Stadium de Gerland will be officiated by Frank Murphy of Ireland. In the other semi, Andrew Brace (also Ireland) takes charge as Toulon lock horns with Saracens at Stade Félix Mayol.
