Great Rivalry Tour Between
All Blacks and Springboks
Rugby's Greatest Rivalry tour brings the Springboks and All Blacks together for an 8-match blockbuster series across August and September 2026
Pausing the traditional Rugby Championship, this quadrennial event features New Zealand playing four South African franchises followed by a four-Test series ending in Baltimore, USA.
The contest between South Africa and New Zealand spans over a century of profound athletic conflict. Since their first Test in 1921, these two powerhouses have defined the pinnacle of international rugby union.
A Century of Heavyweight History
Their meetings are charged with deep tactical chess matches, immense physical intensity, and legendary moments that transcend the sport itself.
The Jersey Is More Than Just Clothing
A rugby jersey isn’t simply a piece of sportswear — it’s a symbol of identity, pride, and unity. On the field, it represents the club, the school, or the nation. Off the field, it signals belonging and tradition.
Custom jerseys designed with precision reflect a team’s history, values, and ambition, helping players feel connected to each other and their supporters from the moment they put it on.
The Role of Customisation in Team Cohesion
At CTC Sports, jerseys are tailored for performance and identity. Using embroidery, sublimation, and DTG printing, teams can feature logos, player names, numbers, and distinctive colour schemes that reflect their brand.
