South African Rugby Union

The South African Rugby Union (SARU) is the governing body responsible for overseeing rugby union in South Africa. It manages the national teams, sets rules, and promotes the sport across the country. SARU organizes domestic competitions like the Currie Cup and coordinates the national team, known as the Springboks, who compete internationally. It also works to develop rugby at all levels, from grassroots to elite, ensuring the sport is accessible and competitive. SARU plays a key role in maintaining South Africa’s status as a major rugby nation, balancing tradition, development, and international success.
