A former All Blacks scrumhalf has named Newlands as the best stadium he’s ever played at.
Piri Weepu was a guest on the Pick and Go Podcast and rated some of the iconic grounds he’s been to in his 71-Test career.
In the 16 times he’s played the Springboks, he says Newlands has always stood head and shoulders above the rest.
The iconic stadium now stands unused and is in the process of being sold.
