Green and gold flooded Grey Goose Game Lodge on Saturday, November 29, as rugby enthusiasts gathered for the final clash of the Autumn International Series between the Springboks and Wales.

As a SuperSport-partnered venue, the venue erupted with cheers each time the Boks crossed the try-line; and there were plenty to celebrate in the team’s emphatic 73–0 demolition of Wales in Cardiff.

Good food, great company, and the lodge’s warm atmosphere made for an unforgettable evening, one Newcastle locals are sure to remember for a long time.
