A disappointing fifth place in a tournament won by South Africa allowed the Blitzbokke to retain the title they’d won so comprehensively the year before. This year, Fiji’s margin is two points so the target is simple: finish ahead of or no more than one point behind USA and lift the fourth series title. Getting back to the Blitzbokke, this weekend they face Wales (11:44), Kenya (15:10) and Australia (18:58) on Saturday.

That was followed by a thrashing of the Bulls by the Brumbies. The Pretoria side began well and took a two- point deficit into the break. But the Bulls were unable to score at all in the second half and defensive frailties in the midfield cost them dearly, ending 22-10 down thanks primarily to a Kuridrani hat-trick. Saturday morning (our time) in Tokyo saw a lacklustre Sunwolves side take a hammering from the visiting Rebels, much to the disappointment of Japanese fans. The final score was 7-52 but the Australian franchise will be more than a little dismayed at the loss of star scrum half, Will Genia, to a head injury and possible Despite the low score (15-18) both sides scored two concussion. tries but the Glaswegians two came at the beginning and at the end of the match.

It’s a despicable element of the game these days that has also stuck its ugly head up at local matches. But getting back to the rugby, perhaps the most insightful comment spotted on social media in relation to the match on Saturday was from Andre Geel when he tweeted: “All SA teams will struggle vs these two #PRO14Final teams.” And based on Super Rugby this year, he's dead right.

There, the second 15 was thrashed 62-24 by a rampaging Blue Bulls’ second team in the SuperSport Rugby Challenge (SRC). Clearly, the Lions have a problem that needs urgent attention. Also on Sunday in Brakpan, the home town Valke triumphed (41-31) over Griffons to secure only their second victory of the season. But the weekend’s SRC action began on Saturday with a Western Province win (27-13) over the EP Elephants at Newlands. And there are another five games on Saturday, taking place at various venues around the country: And up in Nelspruit, the table-topping Pumas defeated a very game Griquas side (37-28) to Golden Lions vs Griffons complete five wins out of five. Meanwhile, in Valke vs Blue Bulls Durban, the Sharks trounced a lacklustre Border Pumas vs Welwitschias Bulldogs side (82-24) and, in George, the Boland Boland Cavaliers vs Zimbabwe Academy Cavaliers were far too strong for the home-town Leopards vs Griquas SWD Eagles (28-43).

The Zimbabwe academy went down (10-66) to the Free State Cheetahs while the Free State Cheetahs vs Western Province Namibian Welwitschias suffered a humiliating (8-81) EP Elephants vs Sharks defeat at the hands of the Leopards. There’s also a club game as a curtain raiser at 10:30: Motherwell vs Missionvals. If you’re in the area, you can make a day of it.

  • Analysing Rugby Game Attendance at Selected Smaller Unions in South Africa
    Analysing rugby game attendance at selected smaller unions in South Africa by PAUL HEYNS 12527521 B.Com (Hons), NGOS Mini-dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Business Administration at the Potchefstroom Business School of the North-West University Supervisor: Prof. R.A. Lotriet November 2012 Potchefstroom ABSTRACT Rugby union is being viewed and played by millions of people across the world. It is one of the fastest growing sport codes internationally and with more countries emerging and playing international and national games, the supporter attendance is crucial to the game. The rugby industry is mostly formal, with an international body controlling the sport globally and a governing body in each country to regulate the sport in terms of rules and regulations. These bodies must adhere to the international body’s vision and mission to grow the sport and to steer it in the correct direction. This study focuses on rugby game attendance of selected smaller unions in South Africa. Valuable information was gathered describing the socio- economic profile and various preferences and habits of supporters attending rugby games. This information forms the basis for future studies to honour the people that support their unions when playing rugby nationally or internationally. The research was conducted through interviews with influential administrators within the rugby environment and questionnaires that were distributed among supporters that attended a Leopard and Puma game. The main conclusions during the study were the failure to attract supporters to the Leopards and the Pumas local matches. The supporters list various reasons for poor supporter attendances namely: a lack of marketing, no entertainment, the quality of the teams that are competing, and the time-slots in which the matches take place.

While Clermont has won the Challenge Cup twice before (and been runners-up in the higher-tier Champions Cup three times), this final was their opponents’ first shot at a title at this level. It was a match that featured dogged defence – mostly from Clermont – and plenty of typical flair from both sides Saturday night saw kick-off in the big one: the but by the 60th minute the contest appeared pretty Champions Cup final, where four-time champions much over with La Rochelle trailing 26-9.

SIGNATURE DATE (Ms) C. M. Sephapo i ABSTRACT Organisations both locally and internationally spend large portions of their marketing budgets on sponsorship opportunities in order to achieve organisational and marketing objectives. The Springboks are in partnership with an assortment of sponsors, from main sponsors to associate sponsors to official suppliers, all with their own objectives to achieve through their affiliation with the Springboks. Although sponsorship is a rapidly growing marketing communication medium, there seems to be uncertainty about aspects related to its impact and effectiveness. The primary objective of the study was to explore the influence that the sponsorship of the Springboks has on the consumer’s decision to purchase the sponsor products within the Tshwane area.
