In 2023, the men’s Rugby World Cup will traditionally be held over seven weeks and will see 20 teams battle it out for the ultimate rugby trophy, the Webb Ellis Cup.
The tournament will be hosted for the second time in France and will mark the 10th edition of the men’s 15s tournament.
The Gwijo Squad will be heading to France for the men’s Rugby World Cup in 2023!
The tournament will take place from 8 September 2023 – 28 October 2023.
“Like I said at the time of the draw, to be in the same pool as Ireland and Scotland will be a massive challenge, but to win the tournament, you have to be able to beat all the teams and we will be properly tested in the pool phrases,” says Springbok coach, Jacques Nienaber.
With the match dates and venues confirmed, it is time for Gwijo Squad to start the preparation of attending the Rugby World Cup 2023.
The members tried to be part of the Japan edition in 2019, which saw the team they support, Springboks, lift the Webb Ellis Cup when they beat England in the final on 2 November 2019.
The preparations for the 2023 tournament have been finalised and Gwijo Squad will be heading to France in 2023 to support the Springboks in the Quarterfinal match.
The idea of witnessing Siya lift back-to-back World Cups with the Gwijo Squad in full cry is an opportunity I definitely won’t be missing out on, says Gwijo Squad committee member Malibuye Cossie
There will be packages made available for the members along with payment plans for the trip of a lifetime.
The packages will include flights, accommodation and official Springbok match tickets.
The Gwijo Squad will be approaching relevant businesses seeking sponsorships to assist with some of the financials – to make the trip affordable for the members.
There are fundraising efforts that are in the pipeline as well.
