Please note: this competition is now closed.

The DHL Stormers will bring their fire to DHL Newlands in a special live-streamed broadcast from 5pm on Saturday July 4 with Bryan Habana, Elma Smit and Siv Ngesi.

And, thanks to BrightRock, you could be there too, even if not in person – and stand a chance to win great prizes and a call from a DHL Stormers champion!

DHL Newlands is SA’s oldest stadium, having hosted its first game in 1890. The opening match of the 1995 Rugby World Cup tournament was played there, and it is the home stadium of DHL Stormers captain Siya Kolisi, who lifted the World Cup in Japan.

On July 4, some of the DHL Stormers’ finest players will set DHL Newlands alight in tribute, lighting braai fires on the field to remember the magical moments that have lit up the stadium over more than a century.

Join us from your home as we pay tribute to the fans, the DHL Western Province and DHL Stormers teams, and all the magic moments that have made Newlands a special place. And, if you’re one of our winners, you might just see yourself on the big screen, lighting a fire for DHL Newlands.

Play the bounce. Play the moment. Love change.

Overall winner

The most enthusiastic DHL Newlands supporter will receive an experience valued at R5,000 to watch the last-ever game played at DHL Newlands.

  • If you live in Cape Town, you and three guests will be transported from your homes to watch the game. You will be taken on a stadium tour and receive one signed DHL Stormers rugby jersey from the captain. Following the game, you will enjoy a meal at The Butcher Shop & Grill in Moulle Point before being driven back to your homes.
  • If you live outside Cape Town, you and a partner will be accommodated at the Tsogo Sun Newlands for one night, from where you will be taken to watch the game at DHL Newlands. You will also go on a stadium tour, receive a signed DHL Stormers rugby jersey and dine at The Butcher Shop & Grill before being driven back to the hotel.

Flights are for the winner’s own account, if applicable. Should the winner be unable to travel, the prize can be redeemed for R5,000 in cash.

Play the bounce, play the moment and #LoveChange: watch the video

Rugby, like life, is a game where the unpredictable is always one play away and can challenge even the best skill and preparation. A lucky bounce of the ball, or an injury, or one critical call, can swing all the momentum for or against you. But rugby’s also like life in that, ultimately, the outcome is determined by just how quickly and ably we respond to and make the most of these situations. At BrightRock, we believe that we should not fear these game-changing moments, but embrace them – because it is in the willingness to welcome Change that we are able to find the opportunities it presents.
