South Africa\u2019s Jaco Peyper is one of the referees at this year\u2019s Rugby World Cup.<\/p>\n

The vastly experienced official returns for a third tournament having also overseen games at the 2015 and 2019 editions.<\/p>\n

Born in Bloemfontein, the 43-year-old made his officiating debut in Super Rugby in 2008.<\/p>\n

After taking charge of the final of the 2011 Junior World Championship, Peyper made the step up to fully fledged international rugby in 2012.<\/p>\n

A place on the World Cup panel followed three years later, with Peyper joining compatriot Craig Joubert on the 12-strong team.<\/p>\n

Joubert\u2019s retirement from regular officiating to take up a development role with World Rugby left Peyper established as the top South African whistler.<\/p>\n

In Japan in 2019, Peyper was selected to take charge of a quarter-final, sending off France\u2019s Sebastian Vahaamahina for throwing an elbow during a narrow defeat to Wales.<\/p>\n

The referee was subsequently stood down from consideration for a semi-final appointment, though, after appearing to mock Vahaamahina\u2019s actions while posing with a group of Wales fans in a photo posted to social media.<\/p>\n

His career at the top level has continued, though, with Peyper given the marquee opening fixture of this year\u2019s tournament between France and New Zealand and a strong contender for another appointment or two in the knockout rounds.<\/p>\n
