Spreadbury will take charge of the all-French clash between Toulouse
and
Biarritz Olympique at Stade Chaban-Delmas, Bordeaux, on Saturday, 24
April.
It will be Spreadbury’s 17th Heineken Cup appointment – including
taking over
in the 2003 final between Toulouse and Perpignan at Lansdowne Road
when
Chris White was injured during the match.
Williams will be on duty at Lansdowne Road, Dublin, on Sunday, 25
April,
when Munster meet London Wasps.
It is the second successive season Williams will have refereed a
semi-final
at Lansdowne Road as he was in charge when Perpignan beat Leinster
Lions
there a year ago. His 18th Heineken Cup appointment came just last
Saturday
when he was on duty at Thomond Park as Munster beat Stade Francais
Paris in
the quarter-finals.
