Where to watch the Rugby World Cup if you’re a South African living abroad

If you’re a Springbok fan living abroad, here are some of the venues where you can gather with fellow South Africans to watch and support the Bokke all the way as they defend their Rugby World Cup title. (Obviously if you’re in France, having tickets to the actual stadiums where the RWC 2023 is being held trumps all!)
