The Springboks are in town!
The moment we have all been waiting for has finally arrived - the Springboks are in town!

The Boks will be in action on Saturday June 21 at Mbombela Stadium against Wales in the first of two tests in the Castle Lager Incoming Series. These two teams have played each other 28 times since 1906, with the Springboks winning 26 tests, losing one and one was drawn. The Springboks have scored 777 points and 97 tries against the Dragons.
Although kick-off is at 15:00, supporters are encouraged to come early to soak up the atmosphere even more.
Tickets are available at Computicket or at the stadium for R200 to R400.
Food and beverages
These will be available at the stadium and no food or beverages will be permitted past the turnstile entrances and the SAB Beer Garden area. Private drinks and picnic baskets are welcome outside the turnstile entrances and only gas braaiers will be permitted (no charcoal or wood braais).
If you are a non-spectator please take note:
Due to the influx of visitors and spectators there will be an impact on non-spectators as well. Road closures will take effect when the variable messaging signs indicate the following: match in progress, public parking closed, use park-and-ride.
The N4-X (also known as Samora Machell Drive West) between I’langa Mall and the N4 split west of Halls Gateway, will not be closed but due to stadium traffic the general public is advised to avoid this section and to use alternative routes to get to the west of the city.
This also applies to the P166 between Mataffin and Riverside which will be reserved for shuttle buses only.
As bus lanes will be in operation along the R40 and R37, delays will be experienced and the public is urged to avoid the R37 (Mashishing Road) and the R40 in Riverside, and consider the use of alternative routes out of the city. Towards White River, the KMIA Road (R538) and towards Gauteng, the Kaapsehoop Road (via Ngodwana) can be used as alternatives.
Park and ride
Disabled parking, with the supporting documentation, is available for the test match. Private bus parking (28 seater and above) is available at R250 per ticket.
Parking for general vehicles is available at R100 for the outlining areas of the stadium grounds, scout-hall fields and the Halls A and B parking areas. All vehicles entering the precinct will require a parking ticket. These facilities are recommenced and the park-and-ride tickets are available from Computicket.
Park-and-ride venues:
Nelspruit Showground, Valencia soccer field, government complex (Riverside) and Hoërskool Nelspruit. Tickets are available at Computicket (Kruger Lowveld Chamber of Business and Tourism, Crossing) and at the stadium from R200 to R600. Keep your eye on Lowvelder for more info.
