If you love the rush of a try or the tension of a close scrum, you’ve landed in the right spot. This page pulls together the latest African rugby action so you don’t have to chase multiple sites. From national team battles to club league drama, we break it down in plain language and give you the tools to follow every kick.
The most recent weekend saw South Africa’s Springboks clinch a tight win over Namibia, 23‑19, thanks to a last‑minute penalty. In Kenya, the Shujaa surprised everyone by edging out Uganda 18‑15 in a rain‑slicked test match; the forward pack dominated the scrums and earned two crucial penalties.
Club rugby isn’t any quieter. The Currie Cup’s top tier featured the Sharks beating the Bulls 27‑22, with a brilliant solo try from their winger that left defenders flat-footed. Over in Zimbabwe, the Harare Highlanders upset the Gweru Warriors 12‑9 after a defensive masterclass that kept the opposition off the scoreboard for most of the game.
These results affect world rankings and set the tone for upcoming qualifiers, so keep an eye on how each team’s point total shifts. A win against a higher‑ranked side can boost a nation’s seeding for the next African Nations Cup.
The next big test comes on Saturday when Kenya hosts Tanzania in Nairobi. Both teams are looking to secure a spot in the 2026 Rugby World Cup qualifiers, so expect tight defense and a lot of kicking.
If you’re chasing live action, most matches stream on SuperSport’s rugby channel or via the official World Rugby app. For quick updates, follow @RugbyAFrica on Twitter – they post minute‑by‑minute scores and key moments.
Don’t forget to check the local club schedules too. Smaller leagues often have games on Fridays or Sundays, and attending a match in person gives you a feel for the community vibe that TV can’t capture.
