If you're a rugby fanatic who has a lot to say about the game while you're watching TV, these auditions are for You.

SuperSport is on a search for six rugby commentators for SuperSport's new provisional competition The SuperSport Rugby Challenge.

The tournament will be happening on Saturday and Sunday, 22 and 23 April and SuperSport is looking for six voices for the commentary team: two each for English, Xhosa and Afrikaans.

The auditions are happening in two phases: a regional search of open auditions, a call-back and a boot camp.

The open auditions are happening in Port Elizabeth, Cape Town and Joziburg between Monday, 3 and Friday, 7 April and the call-backs will be held on Saturday, 8 April.

The open auditions

Dates and venues

Port Elizabeth

Date:
Monday 3 April 2017
Venue: St George’s Park Cricket Stadium

Cape Town

Date: Monday 3 April 2017
Venue: Newlands Rugby Stadium, Newlands, Cape Town

Joziburg

Date: Friday 7 April 2017
Venue: SuperSport Lodge, Randburg

Auditions will start at 09h00 and end at 18h00.

What you need to do

You'll need to commentate a 30-second commentary.

Once you've completed your audition, a panel of judges made up of SuperSport commentators will provide immediate feedback to determine whether or not the participant moves on to the final round of auditions in Sandton.

Who can apply?

Auditions are open to both South African and non-South African citizens living legally in the country and are over the age of 18.

The call-backs

Selected entrants from the three preliminary auditions will then move on to the final round of auditions on the 8th of April at the Sandton City Mall where they’ll be trimmed down to a top 12.

The top 12 will battle it out in a commentators’ boot camp which includes training and various commentating assignments before the six winners are announced.    

Good luck - give it your best try!
