Springboks vs All Blacks at DHL Newlands (WATCH)

Hier kom die bokke, hier kom die bokke...

Get ready for the biggest rugby clash in the Southern Hemisphere when South Africa face New Zealand at DHL Newlands Stadium on Saturday, 7 October 2017 at 5pm.

The two rugby giants last met at Newlands Stadium in August 2008, in a match that New Zealand won 19-0. And the rivalry between the All Blacks and Springboks always intensifies ahead of a clash. Cape Town is filled with rugby fanatics, including a large number who support the All Blacks, which means we are going to have to up our game by backing our boytjies big time!

The Springboks will be fired up for this occasion after they succumb to a humiliating 57-0 defeat to the All Blacks two weeks ago.

The oldest rugby stadium in South Africa, Newlands, is expected to be packed for the Rugby Championship match, which will no doubt be a nail-biting one. With South Africa’s head coach, Allister Coetzee, looking to compete for the cup trophy, it will be a must-win for the men in green and gold.

Rugby is an important part of South African culture, and when the national team steps onto the field and sing the national anthem, South Africans, whether you’re a rugby fan or not, place a hand on their heart and sing along with passion and pride.

Get your squad together and prepare to dress in your green and gold in support of the Springboks. Even if the tickets are sold out, you can put some chops on the coals and open a few cold ones with your tjommies as your shout your lungs out for the match in your backyard.
