Planning at advanced stages for historic ‘North v South’ Rainbow Cup Final:
The Rainbow Cup is set to culminate in an historic ‘North v South’ Final on 19 June so that the dual tournaments operating in Europe and South Africa will tie together to produce one winner.
Planning is now at an advanced stage and all written approvals are expected imminently for the game to take place at a European venue.
At this stage in the process it was important for teams, their fans, broadcasters and sponsors to hear of these developments ahead of this weekend’s Rainbow Cup games in Europe and South Africa.
The Northern representative in the final shall be the team who finishes first in the table among the 12 teams in the Guinness PRO14 Rainbow Cup, while the Southern representative shall be the side who ranks first in the Rainbow Cup SA competition.
Further details on the ‘North v South’ Guinness Rainbow Cup Final will be provided next week.

The Cell C Sharks Women travel to the Western Cape to take on their Boland counterparts in week two of the Women’s Inter-provincial Premier Division this Saturday.
After losing narrowly to Eastern Province last Saturday, they will take positives out of their 13-5 loss to a strong EP side.
Women’s Rugby administrator Lusanda Mtiya explains that, “What contributed to our loss was the fact that we haven’t played any rugby since 2019, but we’re looking to improve this week against Boland up in Wellington.”
With history on the KZN side, she says that the team will take to the field with an element of confidence for this important game as they look to build their performances.
“We’ve never lost against Boland and we’re hoping to keep it that way.”
Although it’s a fairly young side, they do have experience and players representing the country ata senior level which adds to the team’s depth.
“We have a really competitive backline with players who are in the national team and the World Cup squad and we’re looking at them for big contributions in this game,” Mtiya admits.
“With a relatively young squad, we’re hoping to see some good performances this week and for the forthcoming games.”

Quick Durban KwaZulu-Natal Fact: Ties with India – Durban has a strong association with India. In fact, it was here that Indian leader Mahatma Ghandi first embarked on his career as a political and social activist. First bought here as indentured labourers in the late 19th century, people of Indian descent now make up 40% of the city’s population. The Indian influence can be seen and felt throughout the city, from some architecture – the many mosques and temples and the Victoria Street Market – to cuisine. The city is famous for Durban Curry and Bunny Chow, a dish which originated in 1940s Durban.
