‘Superheroes’ come out to play in Super Rugby

First ever #SuperHeroSunday double-header on February 3.

Excitement is building for the first-ever #SuperHeroSunday double-header on February 3 at Cape Town Stadium, featuring all four Vodacom Super Rugby franchise teams on the same day at one venue.

South Africa’s top players, wearing their new jerseys inspired by Marvel’s Spider-Man, Thor, Black Panther and Captain America, will run out at Cape Town Stadium on #SuperHeroSunday for the first public appearance of the Marvel makeover of SA’s Vodacom Super Rugby teams.

The Emirates Lions will be dressed in the familiar webbed suit of Spider-Man, the Cell C Sharks will adopt the Black Panther look, the DHL Stormers will be looking to hammer their opponents in the colours of Thor and the Vodacom Bulls will shield all attacks thrown their way as Captain America.
