The Boland Cavaliers (Boland Kavaliers in Afrikaans), also (known for sponsorship reasons as the Sanlam Boland Cavaliers ) are a South African rugby union team that participates in the annual SA Cup and Currie Cup tournament. They draw players from the Cape Winelands and West Coast districts of Western Cape Province, and play out of Wellington at Boland Stadium.
In October 2023 Boland announced a partnership with the Stellenbosch Academy of Sport and a consortium comprising companies controlled by South African billionaires Patrice Motsepe and Johann Rupert.
The partnership sees the Motsepe consortium and SAS own 74% of the Boland rugby professional arm with the Boland Rugby Union retaining 26%.[1]
