RaboDirect PRO12 Final referee: Nigel Owens

The 42-year-old Welsh official was in the middle when Munster met Leinster at Thomond Park in the 2011 RaboDirect PRO12 Final.

Munster came out on top that day - the second of three straight Final defeats for the Leinstermen, before finally turning the tide last year.

Owens has also overseen three European Cup finals as well as officiating at the 2007 and 2011 Rugby World Cups, while Saturday's clash will be his 111th RaboDirect PRO12 match.

Owens will be assisted by fellow Welshmen Leighton Hodges and Ian Davies - each with plenty of experience under their respective belts.

Hodges has refereed 13 RaboDirect PRO12 games this season, including Leinster's semi-final victory over Ulster, while Davies has taken charge of nine.

The Television Match Official on Saturday will be another Welshmen in Derek Bevan, while Maurizio Vancini breaks the mould - the Italian will be the Citing Commissioner.
