Rhino which will see its elite-level match balls used for all home Tests for the Springboks and Springbok WomenThe Rhino Vortex Pro is Rhino’s highest-spec rugby ball and will be used by the Springboks in all six of their home Tests this year, including the Rugby Championship.

Tested by clubs and universities, including at such famed British rugby institutions as Loughborough University, Hartpury University and University of Exeter, it was launched in 2024. “Choosing a match ball partner is a major decision for every rugby union, but Rhino’s product, coupled with their extensive history in elite-level rugby made them an exciting new partner for South African rugby,” said Rian Oberholzer, CEO of SA Rugby.

“As rugby is in the very DNA of Rhino, we’re looking forward to seeing Rhino match balls in action, not only at Test level with our Springbok men and women’s teams, but also in all of our local competitions.Whether you're traveling to catch a rugby game or just looking for a reliable ride, finding the right car is crucial.
