Not only do we believe that the team will do well, but we strongly believe that they can indeed successively win the title, and we want to extend this belief to punters and fans across the country to Back-The-Boks to another win,” said Rowles.

Springbok legend and Betway Ambassador, Victor Matfield echoed Rowles sentiments, adding he was encouraged to see the amount of belief that Betway has in the team.

South Africans have always shown up for the team and we need to do so once again in their attempt to defend their title. I want to urge all South Africans to show their commitment by joining Betway in backing the boks”, said Matfield.
