Rugby | SABC will broadcast Boks vs All Blacks live: Sports Minister Gayton McKenzie

When it comes to test rugby, they don't come any bigger than tests between arch rivals South Africa and New Zealand. Saturday's Rugby Championship showdown between the Springboks and the All Blacks at Ellis Park in Johannesburg, has been the talk of the town this week. More than 60 000 spectators are expected to fill the iconic concrete stadium in Doornfontein, while millions more will watch it live on television. SA Rugby Union President Mark Alexander and Sports Minister Gayton McKenzie have a very important announcement to make in this regard.

This was absolutely fantastic! I used to be on the premium package for multichoice but it is simply too expensive these days and in order to watch certain sports like rugby and cricket LIVE you need the most expensive bouquet.
