ARGENTINA v SPRINGBOKS 21 August 2021 / Nelson Mandela Bay 15 BOKS HAPPY TO BE BACK IN NELSON MANDELA BAY It’s been 28 years since South Africa and Argentina played their first Test – in November 1993 in Buenos Aires – but when the Springboks and Los Pumas clash in Nelson Mandela Bay in the opening two rounds of the Castle Lager Rugby Championship, they will be back in the South African city where they first crossed swords on local soil. BOKS HAPPY THE Pumas’ first Test in South Africa was at the erstwhile Boet Erasmus Stadium on 8 TO BE BACK T October 1994, a Test the Boks won by 42-22 under the captaincy of Francois Pienaar. They returned to the Friendly City in 2003 when IN NELSON 1994 the Boks sneaked home by the tiniest of margins (26-25), courtesy of a late penalty goal by Louis Koen also at Boet Erasmus, and in 2017 the MANDELA Pumas last played here, their first match at the impressive new Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, BAY where SA won 37-15.

  • 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.

  • THE PURPOSE of SPORT in OUR SCHOOL Sport and Its Place In
    Garth Turvey Director of Sport [email protected] THE PURPOSE OF SPORT IN OUR SCHOOL Sport and its place in Education Many people would say that the education one receives in school is about thinking – mental activity, part of our work, our career, something that is the essence of what it means to be human – while sports are merely recreational, a physical activity, and therefore less important. But that would be a narrow perspective, for to be human is to have both mental and physical abilities. Here in South Africa, we are fortunate in that school sport is valued and is still largely based in the school system. This has ensured that schools have retained a sports programme of some kind and, while some remain traditional in the extreme, the more progressive schools have diversified their sports offering to accommodate the growing diversity in our country. The better schools will have sports programmes that are flexible and individualized and yet the importance of team sports is also recognised. We believe that sports participation is more than just fun, more than optional recreation. It helps to build character. It teaches leadership. One learns to try harder when things get tough, instead of giving up, to persevere, concentrate, and practise. One learns how to compete with friends, to play with people one does not like, to consider game strategies, even to sit on the bench. One learns the capabilities of one’s body, to have a positive self-image and greater self-confidence. The clichéd metaphors about being “team players”, “playing the game”, “playing by the rules”, “good sportsmanship”, even “knowing the score”, all testify to the value of sports participation in learning to flourish in our society.
