Springbok Season at Hogshead

Ah, Springbok season, the only time when wearing PT shorts for fun is more acceptable than wearing a New Zealand rugby jersey…

There’s just something electric about Bok rugby:
• The anthems.
• The goosebumps.
• The big tackles.
• The emotional rollercoaster.
• The unity.

And while the stadiums may be packed (if you are lucky enough to snag a ticket that costs the same as a monthly car repayment), Hogshead is where the real action is at.

This Springbok season, Hogshead is your official Rugby HQ; minus the queues, overpriced snacks, and dodgy parking. We’ve got massive HD screens at every turn, so no matter where you sit (or stand, or shout, or cry), you’ve got a front-row view of every try, tackle, and TMO tantrum.

But really, if we’re doing the math, watching rugby at Hogs just makes economic sense.

Let’s break it down:

A ticket to watch the Springboks put Australia in their place at Ellis Park on 16 August 2025? R1050 for a nosebleed seat with a view blocked by the goal posts (perfect if you don’t actually want to see the conversion).

Add parking, fuel, a few drinks, boerie rolls and snacks? That’s easily another R1000.

Now let’s say you came to Hogs with that same R1050 (just the price of a ticket)… You could get:

8 x Original Hogs Burgers — with R90 change.
- Or 11 during our Daily Deals — with R60 to spare.
21 x Brewhogs Platinum Light Lagers
- Or 26 if you order during our Daily Deals — with R36 to spare.

Let’s be realistic though, you won’t eat 8 burgers and drink 21 beers in one sitting (we hope). So how about this instead?
• 1 x Original Hogs Burger
• 3 x Brewhogs Platinum Light Lagers
• A Shot of Tequila
• And maybe even a Brandy Special (because, no DNA just K&A…Klippies and Brannas).

That totals to just R395 and only R332 during our Daily Deals. The math is mathing.

Why Watch the Game Anywhere Else?

✔️ No ticket required
✔️ Free Springbok Shooters when you rock up in your supporter kit
✔️ Legendary meal specials and drink deals
✔️ The bar is close (like… really close)
✔️ Stadium atmosphere with no elbows in your ribs
✔️ And yes, bathrooms with doors, toilet paper, and soap (luxury, right?)

This is value for money. And pure Bok vibes.

We’re talking flame-grilled burgers, spicy wings, loaded nachos, award-winning craft beer, signature cocktails, and the kind of crowd that sings the anthem like their life depends on it! Nkosi sikelel’ Afrika!

If you have read this far, and you are still not convinced, we must mention that Hogs is Bok approved, just look how happy Steven Kitshoff is, it must have been a great Hogs burger and Brewhogs beer.

Whether it’s a crunch-time clash with the All Blacks or a showdown with the Aussies, you’ll feel the gees from kick-off to the final whistle, and long after.

At Hogshead, it doesn’t end when the ref blows the whistle. Stick around for the after-party: the drinks keep flowing, the music kicks in, and the celebrations (or commiserations) go late.

So grab your mates, your green and gold, and those lucky socks you refuse to wash.

This Springbok season, skip the stadium. Go where the game lives, at Hogshead.

P.S. We should probably mention: no shorts (including PT shorts) are allowed after 6pm. Sorry, house rules.
