First Springbok camp 6-7 March for SA players. Raasie aim is to prepare younger players for WC 2027. 13 Bulls, 8 Sharks and 6 Stormers and Lion players has been invited.

The URC have this nice gesture this and next weekend by making it origin match days. Players must wear either their club or schools socks and spectators the jerseys. Was cool to see the commentators wearing the jerseys. Obvious Grey Bloem and the Paarl schools and Paul Roos dominating.

Cheapest tickers are undr R100 for URC, Ellispark you pay extra for safe paking. Next weekend the Bulls made it a Dricus du Plessis welcome to Loftys day. He visited both teams on his SA tour.

Durban and Ellispark pulling crowds of the 30,000 plus on the weekend in derby URC clashes.
Sadly the home teams lost to the Bulls and Stormers.
This weekend the SA shield decider at Loftus aim to pull a record URC crowd of 50,000.
