2. Jaco Peyper – Lawyer
When he is not laying down the law on the rugby pitch, South African referee Jaco Peyper operates as an Attorney for his family business. Peyper Attorneys are legal representatives who work on court cases across South Africa.
Now at 43-years-old, Peyper is a veteran of the refereeing game and is regarded as one of the best match officials on the whistle today. Peyper has previously stated how he wanted to referee until the 2023 Rugby World Cup, so this may be the competition which sees the referee hang up the whistle.
