Each item that is donated will also be assigned a unique number which allows the donor to be entered into a lucky draw to stand a chance of chance of winning a jersey that has been signed by the SA Rugby Legends.
Ice cold beverages will be sold from multiple bars around the podium, concourse and Level 6.
