SANZAAR has announced the referee appointments for Week 4 of the 2018 Super Rugby season. 

There were four away wins in Week #3 which suggests the tournament is well on its way to being the most competitive for several years. There are several mouth watering contests this week and Will Houston takes charge of the Friday night Aussie derby between the Rebels and Brumbies in Melbourne. Brendan Pickerill will referee big Kiwi derby when the Hurricanes host the Crusaders in Wellington, while Argentinean referee Federico Anselmi will take charge of the Sharks v Sunwolves in Durban. Mike Fraser will take the whistle for the last match of the week when the Jaguares host the Waratahs in Buenos Aires.
