Steve Walsh’s contentious handling of the ACT Brumbies’ last Super 14 match against New South Wales has resulted in his replacement as referee for this week’s derby clash between the Brumbies and Queensland Reds.

The Brumbies questioned Walsh’s decision to disallow a try to fullback Adam Ashley-Cooper in the 19-12 loss to the Waratahs, and asked for clarification on other decisions.

The Brumbies’ Matt Giteau faces a fine or suspension for criticizing the Sydney-based New Zealand referee’s performance. Giteau reportedly questioned the worth of the Brumbies’ even turning out to play the Reds if Walsh was officiating.
