Eastern Province Rugby

Home of the EP Kings. Rugby in the Eastern Province has very strong and distinguished sporting, political, and cultural ties. You see, in the Eastern Cape, rugby is in our roots – it’s in the struggles of our generations past as well as our moments of glory, yesteryear sporting heroes and rugby legends. Some of the greatest ever pre-apartheid rugby players in the world came from the Eastern Cape. Some of the best black post-apartheid rugby players in the world are from the Eastern Cape. This says something about where we’ve come from and where we’re going, and tells a little bit about the resilience of our people, our tenacity, and ability to overcome even the greatest of obstacles.
