Lonely Planet review for Ellis Park
The spiritual home of Jo’burg rugby is Ellis Park, just east of the city centre, which was the scene of one of the new nation’s proudest moments – victory in the 1995 World Cup. Rugby supporters are fanatical: a Saturday afternoon at the rugby can be an almost religious experience. The stadium is no longer just for rugby, however. It also hosts football matches and, for now, is home to the Orlando Pirates.
