Media protocols

 

• Every effort will be made to satisfy media needs within the following media schedule and flexibility will be applied where possible.

   

• Media are advised to arrive in reasonable time for media opportunities but are warned that due to on-field preparations press conferences and mixed zones may not always start exactly as per schedule.

   

• Springbok personnel will only be available to media within the prescribed media windows. Please note that live interviews for radio and television will only be considered if requested at least 24 hours in advance and cannot be guaranteed. No interviews will be permitted before 07h30 (local time).

   

• Due to the predicted level of media interest it is expected that one-on-one interviews cannot be guaranteed. Any such requests have to be made via email to the Springbok Media Manager.

   

• No media interactions will be permitted on Thursdays or Fridays (apart from the usual Captain’s media conference, team photograph and filming and photo opportunities at the Captain’s run).

   

• The schedule is subject to change. All changes will be advised via Media Advisory per electronic release.

   

• For more information, please contact De Jongh Borchardt – dejonghb@sarugby.co.za / +27 (0) 82 999 9979.
