Legends Village

With rugby mania hitting our sports passionate county, the South African Rugby Legends Association have created a Legends Village for the next leg of the British and Irish Lions Tour in Pretoria and then in Johannesburg.

Join friends and rugby fans in the vibrant Legends Village where you can enjoy watching the games on a big screen TV, get the inside scoop from rugby greats from both the eLan SA Rugby Legends and the British and Irish Lions Legends Teams who will be frequenting the villages and enjoy a ice cold pint.

The second stop at Tukkies High Performance Centre for the Legends Village offers patrons entertainment both sporting and music, in the spacious marquee. Rugby fans can watch all sporting action on big screen T.V.’s while rubbing shoulders with Lords and Legends, rugby greats such as John Allan, Scott Hastings, Pieter Muller, Mark Reagan, Braam Van Straaten.

Thursday 25 June kicks off with a clinic and a Tag Rugby Festival at Tukkies Rugby Club. Guests of honour will be 16 children from the Child Victims of Crime who will be at the clinic, soaking up the atmosphere of the global sport of rugby and meeting inspiring children from around Pretoria.

Following the clinic and Tag Rugby will be the men in blue; the S.A.P.S. team will take on the U.K. Parliamentarians in the curtain raiser for the second game for the Legends Tour.

The eLan SA Rugby Legends cleaned up in the first game in Durban with a crunching game being played against the British and Irish Lions Legends. The visitors hope to restore some pride in the last of the test matches in the Legends Tour. Kick off will be at 5:00pm at Tukkies Rugby Club.

If you are a supporter, treat yourself to some magnificent running rugby played in a wonderful team spirit by these world class Legends. Join the players for a ‘Boerie and Beerfest’ after the game and help celebrate the milestone of the Tukkies Rugby Club centenary. The marquee will come to life after the game with live music.

Pretoria will have the opportunity to hear the views of the Legends at the second “From the Locker Room” on Friday 26 June at the Legends Village. Rugby greats will present their post mortems of the previous game. Predict how the next game is going to go and what game plan should be taken if they were the coach.

After the nail biting display from the Durban Test Match, Saturday 27 June, the Legends Village invites fans who are not making their way to watch the game live, to enjoy the game at Tukkies. Celebrate or commiserate the second test between the Boks and the British and Irish Lions.

The Legends Village invites all rugby supporters to enjoy all the activites organised by the South African Rugby Legends Association during the British and Irish Lions Tour of South Africa.
