Bok Victory Parade coming to a street near you #StrongerTogether


The Springboks, who are the new World Champions, will be embarking on a victory parade throughout South Africa to say thank you for being #StrongerTogether.

The team will start their tour in Johannesburg and work their way down to Cape Town.

In the Eastern Cape, you will be able to "join" the parade in both East London and Port Elizabeth.

The planned RWC Champions Tour stops are as follow:

  •  Thursday, 7 November: Pretoria, Johannesburg, and Soweto   
  •  Friday, 8 November: Durban 
  •  Saturday, 9 November: East London   
  • Sunday, 10 November: Port Elizabeth
  • Monday, 11 November: Cape Town

Meanwhile the Springboks capped off a stellar year by scooping three top honours at the World Rugby Awards in Tokyo on Sunday.

Rassie Erasmus was named as Coach of the Year, the Springboks were named Team of the Year and Pieter-Steph du Toit was named as World Player of the Year.



SA Rugby said the awards capped off a year in which the Springboks completed the unprecedented double of winning both the Rugby World Cup and the Castle Lager Rugby Championship in the same season.

The team finished the year at No 1 in the world rankings, for the first time since 2009.
