Wikipedia - Falcons (rugby union)
The Falcons – better known by their Afrikaans name the Valke and now known as the Hino Valke for sponsorship reasons – are a South African rugby union team in Gauteng province that participates in the annual Currie Cup tournament.
Their home ground is Barnard Stadium in Kempton Park, to which they have returned in 2009. The Falcons have operated from Bosman Stadium in Brakpan and Pam Brink Stadium in Springs. They occasionally still host matches at Bosman Stadium. The Falcons draw players from Ekurhuleni and other municipalities to the east and south of Johannesburg.
History
The Falcons Rugby Union was founded in 1947 as the Eastern Transvaal Rugby Football Union. After the 1995 World Cup, rugby was declared a professional sport in South Africa, after which the Eastern Transvaal Rugby Football Union merged with the Vaal Triangle Rugby Union to form the Gauteng Falcons Rugby Union. It is one of only fourteen Provincial Unions in the country.
The Valke team has a rich history of producing talented players who have gone on to represent the Springboks, South Africa's national rugby team. The team's home ground is the Barnard Stadium in Kempton Park, which has a seating capacity of 10,000 spectators. The team's colors are blue and white, and their emblem is a falcon in flight.
Valke's playing style is characterized by their fast-paced, attacking rugby. The team's forwards are known for their physicality and strength in the scrum, while the backs are renowned for their speed and agility. The team's coaching staff is led by former Springbok player and coach, Peter de Villiers, who has brought a wealth of experience and knowledge to the team.
Overall, Valke is a team that is steeped in tradition and has a strong commitment to excellence both on and off the field. With a talented squad of players and a dedicated coaching staff, the team is poised to continue its success in South African rugby for years to come.
