According to website Rugby365, the sale of Newlands Rugby Stadium - to an undisclosed buyer - was voted on, and approved, at a recent Western Province Rugby Football Union council meeting. Following the move of Western Province Rugby’s professional teams to DHL Stadium in early 2022, Newlands Rugby has ceased to be a rugby venue. When Western Province Rugby was placed under administration by SARU in October 2021, one of the major tasks assigned to the administrator was to finalise the sale of the stadium. One of the obstacles included a proposal to have the stadium declared a heritage site however, an independent report by a heritage specialist suggested otherwise.

At a time when rugby union is struggling in North America, and despite not having the Eagles qualifying for the RWC23, Major League Rugby is attracting many former rugby icons, such as Matt Giteau, to name but one. Recently, Stade Toulousain, one of Europe's most prestigious clubs, joined forces with the Utah Warriors, striking a major blow on the American Rugby Union (XV) market. However, it is Rugby League (XIII) that is about to conquer the American market. This type of rugby, often described as more spectacular and rougher, is about to set foot in the United States. The economic strategy behind this move is questionable and highly risky... But "high-risk = high-reward". I can't wait to see if Rugby League (XIII) can make it on the American market before Rugby Union (XV) rugby does. Let's give it a try. ---------------------   French version available online   ---------------------   Selective by passion   #sponsorship #sports #marketing

As the chairman of Pacific Rugby Players and an advocate for diversity and fairness in the world of rugby, I believe it's crucial to shed light on the issue of inequality and bias that has raised questions among stakeholders, concerning Pacific Island representation in rugby's higher echelons. Rugby's essence lies in its inclusivity, unity, and diverse tapestry of cultures and backgrounds. We thrive on these differences, as they inspire innovation and enrich the game. The stark underrepresentation of Pacific Island individuals in positions of authority within World Rugby is a matter that should concern us all. How do we change this narrative? What needs to happen for change to take place? #FijiSamoaTonga #RWC2023 #WorldRugby #PacificIslandRugby https://lnkd.in/g5JNA9CK

🏉 After bidding farewell to the Rugby World Cup France 2023 in Paris last weekend, we had a look at some of the key numbers behind the historic tournament. 🇿🇦While South Africa became the most successful men's side in Rugby World Cup history with their fourth Webb Ellis Cup, records off the field were also broken. 📺 The total TV audience rose by 196% in comparison to the tournament in 2019 with 231 million viewers in total taking in the action across the 51-day period. 🏟️ 2.4 million spectators watched the drama unfold from the stands compared to 1.7 million fans attending matches in Japan in 2019, with over 780,000 people attending matches in Paris. Can we expect similar records to be broken when the tournament arrives in Australia in 2027? #RWC2023

DO YOU THINK IT IS AN EXAMPLE OF MISPLANNING? FAULTY STRATEGY? The decision to forgo the opening ceremony of the #ICC #Cricket #WorldCup 2023 #CWC23 can be attributed to several factors, including logistical challenges and a shift in priorities. Logistical Challenges: Organizing a grand opening ceremony for an event as massive as the Cricket World Cup requires meticulous planning and coordination. With as many as ten venues across the country, each with its own logistical considerations, it becomes a complex endeavor to execute a flawless opening ceremony. Shift in Priorities: In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift in focus towards the cricket itself. Many cricket boards and organizers have recognized that the essence of a cricket tournament lies in the quality of matches, the performance of teams, and the excitement generated on the field. As a result, resources and attention are being directed more towards the tournament’s core aspects. Text us for avoiding blunders, and follow for more. #VidishCreations
