Located in Pretoria, South Africa, Loftus Versfeld Stadium has a capacity of 51,762 seats and is considered an all seater venue, recently hosted the 2009 Currie Cup Final. To qualify for selection as a first and second round venue the floodlights, sound system and scoreboard at Loftus Versfeld were upgraded and designated media areas were constructed in the lower level of the west stand.
