Rolland will be joined by assistant referees Jonathan Kaplan of South Africa and England's Wayne Barnes while Welshman Nigel Owens and Frenchman Romain Poite will support Joubert.
The appointments were made by the IRB's Match Official Selection Committee in Auckland yesterday following a thorough review of quarter-final performances.
