Forty of the best teams from around the world have descended on Cape Town as Sevens fever infects Cape Town, in anticipation of the first Rugby World Cup to be held on South African soil since 1995.
The event kicks off at Cape Town Stadium at 08h45 on Friday morning – when Ireland’s men take on Portugal – and tickets are still available for all three days.
Prices start at R150 (Friday), R750 (Saturday) and R475 (Sunday) and are available exclusively from Ticketmaster at rwcsevens.com.
The Springbok Sevens and Springbok Women’s Sevens teams are in action on all three days and kick off their campaigns in Friday’s evening session.
The SA women meet France at 18h35 while the Blitzboks close day one with a match-up against the winners of a qualification match between Germany and Chile at 19h03.
Tick-tock, tick-tock don’t stop the clock! ⏰

“We’ve been waiting a long time to host a World Cup and it’s now almost upon us,” said Jurie Roux, CEO of SA Rugby.
“The excitement is building with all the teams arriving over the last few days and the stage is set for an amazing event.
“We have been planning for a long time for the event and all the preparations are in place to show off South Africa and Cape Town at its best. There are still tickets available for all days – even Saturday and Sunday – and I’d urge all rugby fans to get along early to be part of a very special occasion.”
Play begins at 08h15 on Saturday and 08h30 on Sunday so there is plenty of action throughout all three days.
The winners will be crowned on Sunday evening with the women’s championship final at 20h17 and the men’s at 20h54.
