Super Rugby  South Africa Unlocked Fixtures 2020 - Live Stream

After Australia (AU) and Aotearoa (NZ), South Africa declared the schedule for the seven-team, seven-week Super Rugby Unlocked.

The regular Super Rugby tournament entered into lockdown in late March however, with the addition of three teams and the pursuit of the unique final in November, it returned with a domestic flavor.

The four existing Vodacom Super Rugby teams- Cell C Sharks, Vodacom Bulls, DHL Stormers, and Emirates Lions, will compete together with Phakisa Pumas, Tafel Lager Griquas, and Toyota Cheetahs. All Twenty-one games will be televised by existing Super Rugby broadcast partners.

The season will start on Friday, 9 October at 19:00 local time, where Emirates Lions will compete 
with Cell C Sharks in Durban, and the next day Vodacom Bulls will play against Griquas, and Toyota Cheetahs will face off Phakisa Pumas.

The DHL Stormers will not play in the first round, but they will battle with the Emirates Lions next week when the men from Johannesburg will take on the Capetonians at DHL Newlands at 19:00 on Saturday, 17 October.

SA Rugby CEO Jurie Roux said: We would like to thank all stakeholders for their efforts on this point.

It was a difficult time, but thanks to Vodacom, SuperSport, and the seven teams involved, we can restart rugby through a series of exciting games featuring the best players in the country.

We had to make some major changes in the schedule and find creative ways to meet everyone’s requirements but, we think that from now to the end of this season (only next January), we will provide rugby and entertainment activities to inspire people Interest. Become a fan again.

The accomplishment of Vodacom Super Fan Saturday and the enthusiasm and passion of the players and fans are an excellent way to celebrate the re-emergence of rugby and get South Africans to reconnect with them. Passionate about the game, said Michelle van Eyden, Vodacom’s Executive Head of Sponsorships.

The upcoming season of Vodacom Super Rugby Unlocked is full of action, and fans are more excited to watch Super Rugby South Africa live stream.

The players are eager to go. The fans are always set to fall at the back of their teams. Vodacom is very thankful to work with all our rugby partners. This will release the true heart and spirit of South African rugby in our field. She said: This will be a real festival and showcase the current and future stars of South African rugby.
