Rugby in South Africa

The game we know best

School and club rugby tours, in the game we know best. We have hosted club and school sides from Buenos Aires through the North Island, including a pre season tour for three teams from one club, a touring party of 100. A rugby tour with us means well matched games, training on good grounds and time with the host team afterwards. Touring sides have had sessions with current Super Rugby coaches, and when the draw allows we get your players to a Super Rugby match. Going the other way, we plan tours for New Zealand sides to Argentina, Australia and beyond.

South Africa takes school sport as seriously as anywhere in the world, and a tour there is a real test for any team. Rugby, hockey and netball are the heart of school sport here, played through the same winter season from about April to August, and football is the most followed game in the country. That is why a school can bring several teams on the one trip. We will be upfront. South Africa is not somewhere we tour every year, and we do not have a fixed programme to sell you. What we can do is plan a tour properly, with the right partners on the ground, around your sport, your level and your dates. Tell us what you are thinking and we will come back with an honest answer on what we can deliver and when.

Rugby Tours in South Africa

By arrangement

School rugby tours to South Africa. South Africa has won the Rugby World Cup four times, and its school rugby is as intense as any in the world. For a New Zealand side there is no bigger test. We do not run a fixed South African programme, so this tour starts with a conversation about your team, your grade and your dates. We will tell you plainly what we can line up, and who we would work with on the ground to do it. When to go: the South African schools season runs from about April to August, and the Easter rugby festivals hosted by the big schools are a fixture of the calendar.

Before you ask

Questions, answered

How much does a tour cost?

Every tour is quoted individually because every tour is built around your team — sport, level, dates and budget. Tell us what a great trip looks like and we will come back with an honest price and a first draft itinerary.

Can we customise our itinerary?

Yes — no two tours are the same. Every Brock Sports tour starts with your team, your sport and your goals, and we build it with you, fixture by fixture.

What is included in the price?

Every quote sets it out plainly. A typical tour covers games, training, accommodation, transport, breakfasts and dinners, and the cultural and sightseeing programme. Lunches and personal travel insurance are usually separate, and we will spell out anything else that is.

Which meals are included?

Breakfasts and dinners are included as standard. Lunches are usually at your own cost, so players can choose for themselves.

What happens if the weather turns?

We adjust the day and offer a suitable alternative wherever we can. It is New Zealand, so we plan with the weather in mind.

Do you run multi sport school tours?

Yes, it is the tour we run most. Recent school groups have travelled with rugby, hockey and volleyball teams together, and with rugby, basketball, hockey and handball. Boys and girls teams tour as one party and play on the same days where we can.
