South Africans united in anticipation: Springboks gear up for an epic clash against Australia and you could win VIP Suite tickets to the match!
Johannesburg, South Africa (27 June 2023) – Sport, and in particular rugby, has the remarkable ability to unite South Africans. Nelson Mandela once famously said, “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire, it has the power to unite people in a way that little else does.” This sentiment rings especially true in the hearts of South Africans as we eagerly anticipate the Springboks’ clash against Australia on the 8th of July.

The Springbok squad, under the guidance of coach Jacques Nienaber, has been diligently preparing for the Castle Lager Rugby Championship. Following an intensive two-week training camp in Pretoria, the team is focused and determined to deliver a stellar performance in their opening test against Australia at Loftus Versfeld.
The training sessions have been gruelling, combining rigorous field and gym workouts with crucial team meetings.
Jacques Nienaber expressed his satisfaction with the team’s progress, stating, “Things are coming together nicely. The intensity of our training sessions is good, and it’s pleasing to see how we are progressing.”
The foundation laid in previous camps has provided a solid base upon which they continue to build. With their sights set on the upcoming matches against Australia and New Zealand, the Springboks are leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit of success. A strong showing in the Castle Lager Rugby Championship is vital as they approach their Rugby World Cup warm-up matches and the highly anticipated global spectacle itself, in France later this year.
In exciting news, World Rugby has confirmed that Jean Kleyn (lock) is eligible for selection based on the rule of birthright transfer. SA Rugby Director of Rugby Rassie Erasmus expressed his delight, recognising the significant contribution Kleyn’s international experience will make to the team. As South Africa gears up for an important season, every match holds immense value in their preparations for the World Cup. Kleyn’s inclusion adds depth to the lock position and enhances the overall experience within the squad.
With the upcoming fixtures in the Castle Lager Rugby Championship, the Springboks have an opportunity to showcase their prowess against formidable opponents.
They will face Australia at Loftus Versfeld on the 8th of July, followed by a clash with New Zealand at Mount Smart Stadium in Auckland on the 15th of July. The final match of the championship will see them take on Argentina at Emirates Airline Park in Johannesburg on the 29th of July.
As South Africans eagerly await these encounters, there’s an extra dose of excitement surrounding the Springboks’ match against Australia.
The atmosphere at Loftus Versfeld promises to be electric as fans come together to support their beloved team.
