A new season. A new challenge. A new opportunity to write another chapter in Griquas history. The SA Cup is more than a competition — it’s a journey that demands resilience, unity, and belief. Together, we begin the pursuit of something special.
With over a century of rugby heritage, Griquas Rugby is built on legacy, pride, and purpose. From our iconic peacock-blue jersey to the roar of our fans, every moment reflects our past — and drives us toward a bold future with Suzuki by our side.

Griquas Rugby is one of South Africa’s oldest and most passionate provincial unions, with a proud history and a bold vision for the future. Discover our legacy, our people, and what drives us forward.
There’s a certain edge to players who come through the Sevens system — a sharpness in decision-making, an instinct for space, and the ability to turn half chances into defining moments.
For the Suzuki Griquas, Sako Makata brings exactly that.
The 2026 edition of the Toyota Challenge is set to reach new heights, and for the first time, Suzuki Griquas will be part of the action in what promises to be a landmark international rugby showcase.
Every team needs power in the front row — but every squad also needs personality. For the Suzuki Griquas, Leon Christian Lyons, better known as “Cheese”, brings both.
A prop who thrives in the physical exchanges, Lyons combines strength and work rate with a grounded, authentic character that makes him stand out just as much off the field as he does on it.
The Griquas Youth Teams are where talent meets opportunity. We develop young, driven players into future rugby stars through elite coaching, top facilities, and a winning culture rooted in discipline and pride.
We have won the Currie Cup four times – in 1899, 1911, 1970 and 2025; the Vodacom Cup a joint-record five times; the SuperSport Challenge in 2019 most recently SA Cup Champions in 2024.
