Joubert has been included in the Super Rugby refereeing panel since 2005 and has also refereed international test matches since 2005.
He was named on the refereeing panel of the 2015 Rugby World Cup, also taking charge of four matches during the pool stage of the tournament.
The South African referee was criticised for awarding Australia a penalty in the dying moments of their late victory over Scotland in the quarter-final of the Rugby World Cup, with World Rugby later conceding that his decision had been wrong.
He was then appointed as an assistant referee for Scotland’s Six Nations meeting with Ireland in March 2016.
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.
Joubert, who refereed 69 Tests, retired from all forms of refereeing in June 2018 after his 200th and final World Rugby Sevens Series at the London Sevens.
He will now work for World Rugby where he will mentor and coach the referees on the sevens circuit.
