At ICE Tech we take immense pride in our unwavering support for the Springbok rugby team. A beacon of hope for South Africa and Africa as a whole. Witnessing the Springboks’ spectacular journey, marked by consecutive Rugby World Cup victories, has been a source of inspiration. What makes this accomplishment even more remarkable is the team’s revival from their lowest-ever world ranking in 2017, climbing to the pinnacle of the sport in 2019, and successfully defending their title in 2023.
