If rugby is your passion, there is no greater place to see a game or two than Newlands Rugby Ground, just a 20 minute drive away.  We will arrange your tickets for you in advance, organise transportation and to really get in the spirit of the game, why not let us hold a famous South African braai game day for you and your group.  This in itself is a local tradition.  Gary, your host enjoys all sport, but rugby is a particular favourite, so he’d love an opportunity to watch a game with like minded people.  

The 1995 Rugby World Cup was the hosted and won by South Africa, and was the first Rugby World Cup in which every match was held in one country.

The World Cup was the first major sporting event to take place in South Africa following the end of apartheid. It was also the first in which South Africa was allowed to compete; the International Rugby Football Board (IRFB, now the International Rugby Board) had only readmitted South Africa to international rugby in 1992, following negotiations to end apartheid. The World Cup would also be the last major event of rugby union's amateur era; two months after the tournament, the IRFB opened the sport to professionalism.

Following South Africa's victory, Nelson Mandela, the President of South Africa, wearing a Springbok Rugby shirt and cap, presented the Webb Ellis Cup to the South African captain François Pienaar. Mandela and World Cup winning team were the subject of the 2009 film Invictus.
