KIMBERLEY – Suzuki Auto South Africa is taking the Currie Cup experience beyond the rugby field by introducing an exciting line-up of fan activations, competitions and community initiatives designed to reward loyal supporters while backing the Suzuki Griquas throughout the 2026 Currie Cup season.
As the historic rugby union celebrates 140 years of rugby excellence, Suzuki is combining thrilling matchday entertainment with exclusive prizes and memorable experiences that place supporters at the heart of every home fixture.
Fans Become Part of the Action
One of the standout attractions this season is the Boot-to-Boot Half-Time Challenge, an interactive competition that gives supporters the opportunity to showcase their rugby skills in front of the home crowd.
Fans can visit the Suzuki activation stand before kick-off to collect a complimentary branded Suzuki cap and register for the competition. During half-time, five selected participants will attempt to kick a rugby ball into the open boot of a Suzuki vehicle.
Contestants who successfully land the ball—or come closest—will earn a place in the season finale, where they will compete for an all-expenses-paid Suzuki experience at the Betway SA20, one of South Africa’s premier cricket tournaments.
The initiative reflects Suzuki’s growing investment in South African sport and its commitment to creating unforgettable experiences that connect supporters with the games they love.
Celebrating 140 Years of Griquas Rugby
This year’s Currie Cup campaign carries added significance as the Suzuki Griquas commemorate 140 years of rugby heritage, making them one of South Africa’s oldest and most respected rugby unions.
To honour this milestone, Suzuki will reward supporters throughout the season with exclusive commemorative alumni hampers, celebrating generations of players, supporters and administrators who have shaped the union’s proud legacy.
The commemorative giveaways form part of a broader campaign recognising the rich history of rugby in Kimberley while inspiring a new generation of fans.
