Welsh and South Africans share a deep love for rugby, their national game. It shapes their identity, mood and even the economy, making their matches competitive yet filled with mutual respect.
The Welsh and South Africans are kindred spirits. Plonk a couple of sports fans from each country next to each other and invariably conversation will soon home in on their love of rugby.
Off the field there is always a warm welcome for masses of passionate green and gold-clad fans, staying in Cardiff, or further afield. It is easily accessible by road, but it does get chocka, so make sure you leave plenty of time, because you don’t want to miss the action.It’s a good idea to sample the local produce if you’re mooching round the streets of Cardiff pre-game, so if it’s a sumptuous Welsh cake in Cardiff Market, or some laverbread at Daffodil Restaurant in Windsor Place, you’ll find some delicious fare in what is increasingly becoming a foodie paradise.
For a more bougie evening, the Coppa Club is a recently opened all-day bar on the Hayes with a huge atrium to enjoy a cocktail or graze with some nibbles or something heartier.If you want to venture somewhere more upscale, Cardiff has 11 Michelin Starred restaurants, with Asador 44, Pasture and the Potted Pig revered by locals.
If you really want to get your adrenalin pumping head to Zip World, as you fizz at speeds of up to 70mph down Rhigos Mountain.
