With the experienced, seasoned, young, old and new all mixed together, the club promises magic to be created on the field on senior and youth levels.”
The club is also very excited to announce the addition of a well-known name in South African rugby to their 2022 line-up as former Golden Lions, Griquas, Leopards and Blue Bulls player Willie Wepener brings his impressive skill set to the Khosa’s first team, the Hawks XV.
