Randburg Sports Stadium
Johannesburg, Johannesburg, South Africa
Randburg Sports Stadium, Johannesburg, South Africa — opened Not confirmed, 2 rugby league games hosted, home of South Africa national rugby league team (1993 only).
Sourcing caveat: Both recorded matches share an identical attendance figure of 6,470, despite being separate fixtures on the same day -- plausibly the same crowd for a doubleheader, but this could not be confirmed. The identity of the "Qantas" touring side opposing South Africa B could not be independently verified beyond Rugby League Project's naming.

Name history
Rugby league history
Both of Randburg Sports Stadium's recorded matches, on the same day in October 1993, belong to a short-lived post-apartheid revival of rugby league in South Africa: a South Africa B side lost 6-14 to a touring "Qantas" side, and the full South Africa national side lost 6-48 to a touring North Sydney Bears squad, part of a tour confirmed by South African Rugby League's own history page as negotiated following the country's performance at that year's World Sevens. This sits within a broader wave of South African Rugby League activity in the early-to-mid 1990s -- a first domestic championship in 1992, a Russian Bears tour in November 1992, this North Sydney tour in 1993, a British Amateur Rugby League Association tour in 1994, and a Queensland tour in 1995. Mainstream sources (Wikipedia, North Sydney Bears' own club history) are silent on the 1993 tour entirely; it is documented only by Rugby League Project and the specialist South African Rugby League history page.
