Representatives of each of the entities meet to identify ways of working together for the benefit of South Africa. Every member of Team South Africa in the UK will be available for the duration of the Rugby World Cup Season to assist with the needs of South Africans in the UK and those UK citizens who want to find out more about South Africa and its offering. We wish the Springboks the best of luck for the tournament. Team South Africa is behind you all the way.
