Ireland's Devin Toner is looking forward to facing England at Twickenham
"That is a bit of a surprise", said Schmidt.
Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt says it is a "bit of a surprise" that England chose to bring in a match official from this weekend's game to assist them in training this week.
Van der Westhuizen refereed England's training session at their Bagshot squad base on Tuesday, just five days before he was due to run the line in their match against Ireland at Twickenham.
He says he would have no hesitation in standing by Marius van der Westhuizen's integrity.
World Rugby has also clarified with teams that, in addition to the regular pre-match coach and referee meetings, senior elite teams will continue to have the opportunity to request that a member of the high-performance match official panel attends training providing that the individual is not a member of the match official team officiating that team at a later date within the current competition or test window.
The fact Jones has cut Danny Care and Dan Cole along with the expected benching of George Ford, Jamie George and, less so, Joe Launchbury meant these incidental subplots were eventually drowned out.

Dax Shepard Joins Netflix's 'The Ranch' Following Danny Masterson's Firing
There is no information yet about how Masterson's character will be written out, as he has filmed the first half of the season. Masterson starred alongside Ashton Kutcher , Debra Winger , and Sam Elliott , who all remain with the show.
Under-pressure England coach Eddie Jones, meanwhile, has wielded his axe as he looks to save his side's season after losing their title thanks to losses to Scotland and France.
ENGLAND: Anthony Watson; Jonny May, Jonathan Joseph, Ben Te'o, Elliot Daly; Owen Farrell, Richard Wigglesworth; Mako Vunipola, Dylan Hartley (capt), Kyle Sinckler; Maro Itoje, George Kruis; Chris Robshaw, James Haskell, Sam Simmonds.
Given the stakes, Schmidt is expecting a desperation derby.
Question one: "It might be dead to you but I don't think it is dead to anyone else". "They have to win". For us, it is a matter of working that forward pack, keeping the ball on the park, working through lots of phases and taking the legs from them.
"We will get that back, don't worry, we have them next year at home, we will get 'em back!"
