Springbok Fans Invited to Give Back at Local Tests

Supporters who will be attending the Springboks’ last three Tests in South Africa this year – against New Zealand and Argentina in the Castle Lager Rugby Championship – will be able to help empower the next generation of players by donating previously loved boots, balls, kit and equipment at the SA Rugby Kit Drop in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Nelspruit.

All donations will be refurbished and redistributed to underprivileged communities with the aim of helping children and grassroots clubs have access to the game that we all love.

Each item that is donated will also be assigned a unique number which allows the donor to be entered into a lucky draw to stand a chance of winning a jersey that has been signed by the SA Rugby Legends.

Fans are urged to be on the lookout for the following matchday collection points and to make a difference in the lives of other rugby players:

Johannesburg, 31 August 2024: Matchday park and ride venues at St Johns College, East Gate Shopping Centre and the Sportsnation Offices in Roodepoort, as well as the north, west, and southeast entrances to Emirates Airline Park.

Cape Town, 7 September 2024: Matchday park and ride venues at Century City and the University of Cape Town, as well as the Forecourt entrance (open area next to McDonalds near gates 1 to 11) to the DHL Stadium.

Nelspruit, 28 September 2024: Details to be announced closer to the time.

  2. 160 international Rugby caps and still going – Alun Wyn Jones of Wales is a behemoth in the sport. He has over 160 international caps to his name and he’s still going. He’s played at 4 world cups (2007-2019) which is a record, has played in 4 Lions Tours (2009-2021), which is also a record, and has clocked up over 225 appearances for the Ospreys too. Someone needs to check in his loft for a portrait of himself, because this guy just keeps going and going.
