The International Rugby Board have named the referees for the Lions' Test series against South Africa.
Bryce Lawrence of New Zealand will take charge of the first Test in Durban on June 20, France's Christophe Berdos will have the whistle a week later in Pretoria and Stuart Dickinson of Australia will ref the third Test in Johannesburg on July 4.
The trio will form a neutral Test panel that will also include specialist assistant referee Vinny Munro from New Zealand.
IRB referee manager Paddy O'Brien said: "We met with the Lions and South Africa team management last month.
"All were in favour of the appointment of neutral match officials for the Test series.
"Bryce, Christophe and Stuart are all highly experienced members of the IRB's high performance referee panel with nearly 80 internationals between them."
Walsh was an arrogant pr!*k, but I thought he was a quality referee. So in love with himself there never was anything home town about him. He wasn't NZ most experienced referee for nothing.
I heard Walsh turned up drunk Japanese Foreign Minsiter style at a conference pre-Christmas
Christophe Berdos is a clown, but we need a 6N referee in there somewhere.
