As the Rugby Championship heats up, all eyes are on the upcoming showdown between the Springboks and Argentina.
The decisive match at Allianz Stadium in Twickenham on Saturday, 4 October could very well crown the tournament winner.
But before the teams take the field, London fans have a special opportunity to celebrate rugby while supporting players who need it most.
On Friday, 3 October at 18:00, Wolfpack Fulham is hosting an exclusive charity event in partnership with the Chris Burger Petro Jackson Players’ Fund – the official charity of the Springboks, SA Rugby, and Stormers Rugby.
The Fund supports players who have suffered life-changing injuries on the field, offering vital assistance when they need it most.
A Night of Insightful Rugby Talk
The evening will be hosted by the inimitable Howie Kahn and will feature a lively panel discussion with Stephan Lewies, Harlequins lock and former Springbok, alongside Tony Brown, current Springbok attack coach and All Black legend.
Fans can expect an inside look at the game, from fierce rivalries to personal reflections, making it a must-attend event during one of the most thrilling periods on the rugby calendar.
The evening will also include:
-
A charity auction, with all proceeds going directly to the Players’ Fund
-
A lucky draw offering two free tickets to the Springboks vs Argentina Test
-
A complimentary pint on arrival to kick off the festivities
Tickets are priced at £25, with every pound raised supporting the Fund’s mission to provide dignity, independence, and long-term care for catastrophically injured rugby players.
Silent Auction Offers Premium Matchday Experience
Adding to the excitement, the Players’ Fund is running a Silent Auction for four premium hospitality suite tickets to the Springboks vs Argentina Test at Twickenham. Valued at £1,250 per ticket, the package includes:
-
Suite access two hours before kick-off and 1.5 hours after full-time
-
Complimentary food and drinks
-
An unrivalled matchday atmosphere in one of rugby’s most iconic venues
Bidding is open now and closes at 18:00 SA time on Tuesday, 23 September.
It’s a chance for fans to enjoy the Test in style while making a real difference in the lives of injured players.
Supporting Players Who Need It Most
The Chris Burger Petro Jackson Players’ Fund has been a lifeline in rugby since its founding in 1980 by former Springbok captain Morné du Plessis.
Over the past four decades, it has provided financial aid, mobility equipment, rehabilitation, and ongoing care for players whose lives change in an instant due to catastrophic injuries.
This Wolfpack Fulham event is more than just a chance to talk rugby – it’s an opportunity for fans to come together, celebrate the sport, and ensure no player is left behind after an injury.
