South African referee Craig Joubert has retired from refereeing after his 200th World Rugby Sevens Series match at the London Sevens this past weekend.
In December 2016, Joubert announced his retirement from 15s officiating in order to take up the role of Referee Talent Development Coach at World Rugby.
The 40-year-old has refereed 69 Tests, more than 100 Super Rugby matches and 80 Currie Cup clashes, including five finals between the two competitions.
He will now work for World Rugby where he will mentor and coach the referees on the sevens circuit.
He's refereed Test matches, Super Rugby, the Rugby World Cup 2011 final and yesterday finished his 200th match on the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series.
