The Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security, Alderman JP Smith says the main URC match will be proceeded by a SA Rugby Under-21 Cup clash between the DHL Western Province U21 and Fidelity ADT Lions U21 at 15:45. He says, due to limited parking in the Green Point Precinct, fans are encouraged to park in the CBD, hop on a free MyCiTi shuttle or take the Fan Walk to the stadium. Smith added that the free MyCiTi shuttle service will operate exclusively for ticket holders, running from the Civic Centre and Thibault Square stations to the stadium at 15:15.
