The idea is to create a touch rugby tournament that will run throughout and will be in celebration of the RWC. We want to bring people together as the Springbok slogan says “stronger together” while promoting a healthy body, healthy mind lifestyle by using rugby as a vehicle. This is also an opportunity to bring the gees and create a fan park like event thus bringing people together.
Dates
This will happen throughout the Springboks’ games precisely and right through to the semi-finals, the final will strictly be a fan park only. Should the Boks not make the play offs (god forbid) we will choose a team (eg all blacks since most cape townians support it) to carry the touch rugby through.

Teams
The aim is to have between 20 and 30 teams all together playing for the main prize.
Each team can enter a team of 10 players of which one must be a female.
Team entry fee is R500 per team (that is R50 each player)
Teams that fail to enter a female must pay R200 over and above the entry fee.
