Stadium rules reminder: DHL Stormers v Cheetahs
The day’s action will get underway at 14h10, with DHL Western Province hosting the Pumas in an historic first-ever Vodacom Cup Final at DHL Newlands, before the DHL Stormers face up to the Cheetahs in an all-South African Vodacom Super Rugby encounter.
Saturday’s matches will form part of the celebrations as the Western Province Rugby Football Union commemorates Newlands Rugby Stadium’s 125th year of existence, as well as 23 years of unity within the WPRFU.
Newlands Rugby Stadium is regarded as one of the most iconic rugby venues in the world, having hosted some memorable matches over the years – at international, Super Rugby and Currie Cup level, with some great players, both locally and from abroad, having been in action on its hallowed turf.
* Match tickets, priced between R80 and R140, can still be purchased ahead of Saturday’s matches at DHL Newlands – either online, at http://wprugby.computicket.com, or from Computicket outlets and Shoprite & Checkers stores nationwide.
