Unfortunately the team has not yet moved from the 4th position in 2 events … what will this year bring for them?
Born in the Free State with initial owner rugby legend Ollie le Roux the Showdown Rockets was the team that won the first Showdown event in 2023. Later the same year during the second event they managed to come second. With new ownership we all are wondering “what will this year bring!”. Stay tuned to find out.
The African Giants has been a formidable team during both events coming third in the first event and winning the second. With much controversy surrounding the African Giants’ draft selection (stealing Donna le Roux from the Rockets during the first event) we are sure that more fun and excitement will be heading our way!
