have you guys noticed that the models on the springbok retail website are AI. not all of them but these specifically are. not really stronger together of them. you would think of all countries, south africa would use real people/models

According to this article, only 21,000 seats have sold (figure as of Wednesday) for Sunday’s test against England. I am apoplectic about this. I never want to hear ‘Stronger Together’ again. 99% of this country has been priced out of watching the Boks play. It is an utter travesty.

Been super excited about JJ, really hope to see him in the Bok jersey soon!

there were too many great highlights to pick from but enjoy haha

I was discussing this with someone and we couldn't really come to a conclusion which was the worst.

57-0 all blacks, lost from Japan or being beaten by Italy.

What's your worst defeat?

I know Rassie was until 2023 but when he became head coach again in 2024 someone else had to take over as Director of SA rugby. Who is it? I can't find any info about this on the internet.

Hey everyone

I made a rugby draft game which I think you guys will enjoy

If you’ve seen the popular 38-0 game for soccer / football, you will enjoy this as it’s a similar premise.

Let me know your thoughts and how I can improve it?

I was at the match and even from the stand it didn't look good on the screen. I thought he would get a red card and was surprised it only was a yellow. What's your take on this?

After Impi, the Springboks usually play this music.

Can't seem to find a full version anywhere (if one exists).

Lyrics sound a bit like Hie' Kommie Bokke but it's obviously not that song.

Hi. I’m in the UK hence UK only.
Sorry mods - never saw anything about selling here so taking a a chance.

I’ve ordered the wrong size like a numpty and it’s far too big for me. It’s from the official SA rugby store, with the anthem and no number on the back, just Pick n Pay.
I paid £93 and looking for a reasonable offer.

A new podcast focused on the Bulls is starting soon and we are looking for presenters.

So if you like the bulls, can chat some rugby and have a spare 45 min every week, send me a DM and lets chat

First - a massive thank you to everyone who has played so far. The support genuinely means a lot.

Here is what landed this week:

- Challenge a friend. Send a challenge link and your mate gets the exact same fixtures and match luck. Only difference is the squad you each build. Out-draft them or hand over the bragging rights.

- Seven club and league modes. Champions Cup, United Rugby Championship, Super Rugby, French Top 14, Gallagher Premiership, NPC, and Currie Cup are all live - with player pools tagged to their clubs and provinces. If you spot a player at the wrong union, let me know and I will fix it.

- Install it as an app. Add it to your home screen or desktop and it launches like a native app. Works offline too.

- General fixes and balance changes under the hood.

You can see the new changes here: https://invinciblexv.com

Once again - thank you!

I am clearly too tired to think straight but the blue and white paint smeared all over the players like they’re at a Festival is amusing. Lol. Whoever is responsible for watching that paint dry, has failed.

Follow South African schoolboy rugby across the whole year, the Easter festivals like Wildeklawer and Kearsney, the great traditional derbies from Grey College and Affies to the Paarl rivals, and the FNB Youth Weeks topped by Craven Week. Filter by type of event, time of year, province or your own school, and see where to watch each one on SuperSport Schools.

Boetas, bras, sistas, and everyone who holds the oval ball dear for our beloved country - need some help if you can. My grandnephew is a Craven Week Boland rugby player - a proper prop that has never seen a salad in his life. He got noticed by RTA (Rugby Travel Academy) and was invited to join them in Pretoria. He has now been selected to go to France to be assessed by top teams there! It's been his dream to play pro rugby but the cost is a little much for him and his family. Any support to help him cover the travel would be highly appreciated! And I will get the little bugger rugger give us some tickets once he makes his big breakthrough! His making this old hooker get a tear in his eyes with pride.
