Cape Town Sevens 2028
Dates taking place: December 2028 (Dates TBA)
Location: Cape Town, South Africa
Never been to a rugby sevens tournament? Allow us to try explaining rugby sevens. It’s a faster and more intense version of rugby - if you can imagine that. There are two seven minute halves and nearly any player can score a try. Now you can put that inside a stadium that overlooks Table Mountain on one end and has the Atlantic Ocean somewhere in the background. The crowd treats the event like the world's greatest outdoor party. This is what is in store for you at the Cape Town Sevens 2028. It is also very hard to find a reason not to go.
Overview of Cape Town Sevens
One of the annual staples of the global rugby sevens circuit, the Cape Town leg of the HSBC SVNS Series joined the calendar in 2015. Like every stop in the circuit, the Cape Town leg of the Series has created a reputation for itself. The style of play in sevens is almost non-stop, teams are split into pools, and almost every match has dire consequences for the teams. The short length of each match packs a lot of action, making it possible for viewers to see multiple matches in a single day - all without the necessity of a nap.
The nations of South Africa, New Zealand, France, Fiji, and Australia in addition to numerous other nations run, offload, and perform tackles at a pace that is faster than a casual jog. As for the South African Blitzboks, the home team, the crowd goes wild during the sevens as the Blitzboks are known to win in front of the home crowd in some of the most thrilling ways. In fact, the home crowd has a known reputation for collective screaming, and tries are definitely expected to be scored after the final hooter.
