Rugby Tours

The Tri Nations tour involves New Zealand, Australia and South Africa.
It was projected in the 2007 World Cup that the Dream Final would be between South Africa and New Zealand or Australia. This is your chance to see the top three teams in the world compete against each other in iconic stadiums before the world's most enthusiastic fans. Think Gladiators and Roman Coliseum!
Following the crowning of the Springboks as World Champion in France 2007, South African rugby wants the world to see why and how they succeeded. What better way to showcase rugby as a sport that transcends all others.

See - The Haka performed before a rabid Springbok audience
Hear - The National Anthem roared out by 50,000+ fans
Witness - Rugby played by the top players in the world
Party - With the fans after the game (win or lose)
Talk About It - For the rest of your life.
