R11 000 in. R40 000 to the try line.
Getting the squad to the Cape Town 10s (7–9 February 2027) costs about R51 000. Picture that as a full 100-metre rugby field: every R510 moves the ball one metre closer to the try line.

Residence Vive la Vie is a five-suite guesthouse on Uitkyk Street, on the quiet edge of Franschhoek village. The main road's restaurants are about 15 minutes away on foot, and the wine farms and the Wine Tram aren't far either. You get a suite with its own patio, the pool, and a breakfast guests keep raving about.

Meet the Raptors.
A 10s side made up of mates, a few Jonkers, a couple of Hardings and at least one Frenchman. Every February we go to the Cape Town 10s. We take the rugby seriously right up until the final whistle.

Jersey of the Year.
Last season's white-and-gold kit won Jersey of the Year. A social side can still look sharp. This time we'd like the results to match. Want your logo on the next one? That's a sponsor spot.
