No Rugby World Cup Trophy Tour for North West Province – For Now

Despite the jubilant celebrations that swept across the North West Province following the Springboks’ historic Rugby World Cup victory on Saturday, a sense of disappointment lingers as the province will not be part of the Trophy tour’s itinerary.

The Springboks clinched the prestigious Rugby World Cup after an electrifying match, edging out New Zealand with a final score of 12-11. The remarkable win filled the nation with pride and excitement, and South Africans eagerly awaited the Trophy tour schedule to bask in the glory of their victorious team.

However, the tour route, announced earlier this week, excludes the North West Province, leaving rugby enthusiasts in the province disheartened. The Trophy will embark on a journey through several major cities around the country, with Johannesburg, Soweto, Pretoria, Durban, East London, and Cape Town being the selected destinations.

The World Champions are expected to arrive in the country on Tuesday. The official Trophy tour will kick off on Thursday, allowing fans in the chosen cities to get up close and personal with the coveted Rugby World Cup Trophy.

While the decision to exclude the North West Province from the Trophy tour is certainly disappointing for the province’s rugby fans, the opportunity to witness the Trophy and the victorious team in other parts of the country promises to be a memorable experience for South Africans nationwide. The Rugby World Cup victory has undoubtedly brought a renewed sense of pride and unity to the country, and the tour will provide an opportunity for many to share in the celebration of this historic achievement. The trophy tour will resume again and 2024 where parts of the North West might have a chance.
