World Rugby has confirmed the match official appointments for the June-July Test window, with Nika Amashukeli, Angus Gardner and Matthew Carley named as referees for the Springboks' three home Tests against Wales.

Georgian Amashukeli will referee his first Test outside of Europe when he takes charge of South Africa's opener against Wales in Pretoria on 2 July.

Australia's Gardner will referee the second Welsh Test in Bloemfontein on 9 July, with Englishman Carley in charge of the final Test in Cape Town on 16 July.

Meanwhile, South African officials Jaco Peyper, AJ Jacobs, Marius Jonker and Marius van der Westhuizen also received appointments for the Test window.
