The IRB Junior World Championship 2012 hits Cape Town and Stellenbosch from the 4th to the 22nd of June, delivering the best Under-20 teams in the world, with some of the hottest young talent in rugby, from twelve nations to your doorstep.

This is the Under-20 version of the Rugby World Cup and is rated as the second most important tournament on the IRB calendar. Played out at two world class venues in South Africa’s rugby hotbed – the University of Stellenbosch and the University of the Western Cape (UWC) – this is a unique chance to see the global stars of tomorrow.

There are five match days across the three-week tournament with the action kicking off on June 4 at both venues. The Final will be played on June 22 at the Danie Craven Stadium.

SARU has confirmed tickets for the three week-long event have gone on sale and fans can now book their admission to the hugely anticipated international event at any Computicket outlet or online at www.computicket.com

Ticket prices for the tournament, to be played at the Danie Craven Stadium in Stellenbosch and the University of the Western Cape in Bellville, are as follows:

• R50 for reserved tickets on the Main Stand

• R25 for unreserved tickets

The price of a single ticket, to one of the 5 match days across the three-week tournament, will give fans admission to thrilling triple-header match days with a feast of international Rugby on show.

Rugby World Cup 2007 winner and IRB Junior World Championship 2012 Ambassador Ashwin Willemse, says he is excited about forthcoming event and has urged Capetonians to buy their tickets early to avoid disappointment. “This tournament showcases the best young Rugby talent the world has to offer and supporters will be able to watch the unique event at two top-class venues.
