It was the seventh annual edition of the rugby weekend since 2015, in which the rugby club had the privilege to entertain players and the public once again.

Various clubs from the Onderberg, Lowveld, Middelburg, Rustenburg and a club from Mozambique participated in the rugby weekend.

Spectators were allowed to enjoy live games, braais and social fun among friends and family. It has been more than two years since the last time spectators were allowed to support their teams in 2020. Big crowds were welcomed and enjoyed the live rugby they had missed so much.
