SA RUGBY

Over the past 20 years SA Rugby Magazine has been the top selling Rugby magazine in the Southern Hemisphere and has become THE rugby authority in South Africa. SA Rugby is an independent title that celebrates our rugby heroes, addresses key issues in the game and stays in tune with the views, feelings and emotions of South African rugby fans. We cover South African rugby extensively, including Springbok, Super Rugby, Currie Cup, Varsity Cup, Craven Week, Schools rugby, and all the major global rugby leagues and tournaments. There is no where else to turn for a complete rugby breakdown throughout the year.
