Following their official affiliation into the SARU fold last year, the SA Deaf National Rugby team are set to play a historic 1st ever Test series against the current deaf World Champions, Wales during August.
The historic 2 Test series is set to be played at Hoërskool Waterkloof.
The 1st Test is to be played on Saturday 8 August, with a tight turn around to the 2nd Test the following Wednesday 12 August.
Both games kick off at 15:00, and entrance is FREE.
As with all such organisations, I am sure that all support, whether just in the form of spectatorship on match days, or more importantly in the form of any type of sponsorships are always more than welcome.
Should anyone need more information, or would be able to assist in any form of sponsorship, please feel free to contact the SA Deaf National Rugby Union’s PRO, Dean Almeida through their website, www.sadru.co.za.
Got to love the fact that some people manage to still reach their goals, despite any disability.
Congratulations to all of the new “Deaf Boks”, as well as everyone involved in getting this Test series arranged.
Admirable stuff! Well done Dofies….I wonder how many Worcester boykies from De la Bat School in that team?

Sal so maak.
Paar van ons is van plan om die 2de toets te gaan kyk.
Sal paar foto’s neem en ‘n berig doen.
5 @ Scrumdown:
Kan mos nie kaartjie vir Ellis Park toets bekostig, so sal maar 2de prys moet aanvaar!
Well………………………………… a whistle won’t help the Ref any.
So how does he keep order?
I suppose a cattle prodder is unacceptable.

Does in fact use a whistle.
Not all of the players are totally deaf.
@ Scrumdown:
Thanks Scrumdown.
Amazing what some people know.
😳

Spoke to one of the players.
I don’t know F-All about anything.
dit behoort bitterlik interresant te wees om te sien,ek meen dink net aan goed soos lynstaan tekens,komunikasie in die agterlyn,hoe se die ref vir die ou heel onder in die ruck roll away six as six op sy maag le? die rev sal seker moet kan sign ook,jissie die uitdagings is enorm,ek haal my hoed af vir die manne sterkte amabokke…..want bok is bok of hy doof is of nie…..

Sal julle laat weet van al die dinge as ons klaar gaan kyk het.
Great stuff this….these guys are a tough bunch, make no mistake.
Years ago, while still at school, we played a deaf school from Worcester.
We didn’t exactly play fair though, when one of their guys broke through, we would mimic a whistle call to him as to show that the ref blew….once he stops you moer him or grab the ball.
Worked both ways though…..when the whistle did blow and we stopped play, they would thunder in and tackle ten types of shit out of us, get up and show they are sorry, they didn’t realize that the whistle went.
Good fun though
Thanks for the interesting article, Scrumdown!
A very worthy article and cause to support!
I’ve been away from Rugby-Talk for a couple of day… deliberately… call it a hiatus if you will.
When passion and enjoyment is replaced by it being a burden, an effort and a downright chore… that’s when you know to call a bit of a time-out.
A sense of responsibility, has now driven me back and I guess it’ll take a bit of work on getting the joy and passion for this “Machine” back on track.

Ons het eenkeer ‘n jaar ‘n wedstryd teen Sonitus Skool vir hardhorendes gespeel
Die outjiies was hard en rof
Die ref het ‘n vlag en ‘n fluitjie gehad
Die problem was die ouens het nou nie juis geluister of opgelet vir die vlag nie en net aanhou speel
Jy het binne die eerste paar minute geleer om jou ook nie aan die fluitjie te steur nie
Glad for them.
