The year might be winding down, but South African sport is only just heating up. From record-breaking rugby debuts to cricketing glory and football triumphs, the nation’s athletes continue to make headlines that demand celebration, and maybe even a few travel plans.
At Rennies BCD Sports, we live for these moments, not just to cheer from afar, but to help fans and partners experience the action up close wherever the next whistle blows.
Springboks on Tour: New Faces, Old Rivalries
The Springboks are back in action on their End-of-Year Tour, bringing that unmistakable green-and-gold energy to northern hemisphere stadiums.
Among the big stories this week: the youngest-ever prop is set to make his debut in the Japan Test, a glimpse of the future strength of South African rugby.
And if that’s not enough drama, rugby fans are buzzing about the old-school rivalry between Rassie Erasmus and Eddie Jones, two master tacticians whose mind games and media jabs have become as entertaining as the matches themselves. Expect fireworks when their paths cross at Wembley, two old allies now on opposite sides of the coaching chessboard.
Banyana Banyana and the AFCON Dream
While the men’s football team prepares for the next phase of international qualifiers, Banyana Banyana are heading to Morocco for the CAF Africa Cup of Nations, carrying South Africa’s hopes high once again.
Their qualification is more than just a ticket to the tournament, it’s a symbol of consistency, grit, and continental dominance from one of the most inspiring teams in world football.
For South Africans looking to follow them, Morocco promises a sensory feast: stadiums alive with song, souks bustling with colour, and sunsets over the Atlas Mountains. A sports pilgrimage with soul.
Cricket Fever: The Proteas Women Chase World Cup Glory
Then there’s the story that has everyone talking, the Proteas Women storming into the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup Final.
Their semi-final victory over England was a statement of intent, and now they face cricketing giants India in the final on Sunday at 11:30 AM.
After India’s thrilling 338-run chase against Australia, fans are calling it one of the greatest games in women’s cricket history. But momentum, form, and spirit are all leaning South Africa’s way. And if there’s one thing we’ve learned about this team, it’s never to count them out.
As our GM, Philip Bourdin, put it best during our chat this morning:
“You don’t chase 338 twice. The Proteas Women are going to beat India, and they’re going to do it with style.”
