Crowd limits lifted for Wales Tests in South Africa
Wales will be faced with capacity crowds when they take on the Springboks during their three Test tour of South Africa. Covid-related government restrictions have been lifted, so there can be full houses for the games in Pretoria, Bloemfontein and Cape Town. Attendances have been limited to half capacity in the Rainbow Nation up until now, including for last weekend’s United Rugby Championship final between the Stormers and the Bulls. Now there will be no restrictions at the Test venues of Loftus Versfeld (52,000), Free State Stadium (46,000) and Cape Town Stadium (55,000).
