Octafield is a South African rugby media and technology platform, and the home of SCRUM. We cover the game the way supporters actually follow it — live fixtures and results, deep player and team profiles, statistics, fantasy rugby, podcasts and original video — across the URC, Currie Cup, Champions Cup, Top 14, the international game and South African schools rugby.
Our goal is simple: to be the most useful rugby destination in South Africa. That means fast, accurate, mobile-first coverage, data you can trust, and original analysis rather than recycled headlines.
Fixtures, results and live match centres; league tables and player statistics; club and national team pages; player profiles; fantasy rugby through SCRUM RUGGA; and a growing library of podcasts and video. Coverage spans the United Rugby Championship, the Carling Currie Cup, European competitions and the schools game that feeds South African rugby’s pathway.
Octafield was founded by Renaldo Bothma, a former professional rugby player with more than 100 senior caps across the Bulls, Sharks, Pumas and Harlequins, and for Namibia — whom he captained at the 2015 Rugby World Cup. That playing background shapes how we cover the game: with first-hand insight into the players, competitions and pathways we write about.
