The leaping Springbok which was recently moved from the left breast of the rugby jersey to the right recently to make way for the Protea, will be move again - this time to the left sleeve for all IRB World Cup events.
This was announced by the South African Rugby Union Friday, a result of deliberations regarding the placement of logos and emblems on the playing jerseys of all South African teams at World Cup events.
Several months of discussions took place with the relevant regulatory authorities before the executive council ruled on the management of the placing of the Springbok logo on team jerseys.
To conform to all contractual and legislative requirements the Springbok logo will be placed on the left sleeve of the playing jersey for the duration of Rugby World Cup tournaments.
This temporary switch only applies to IRB events and mirrors the approach of other international unions.
