CONFIRMED: World champions Springboks’ Outgoing Tour fixtures confirmed

The double world champions will kick off the tour on Sunday, 10 November in Edinburgh, before a clash against England at Twickenham on Saturday 16 November. Then will line up against Wales in Cardiff a week later on 23 November.

“Wales may have had a disappointing Six Nations campaign, while Scotland won two of their five matches and England three, but they are always a force to be reckoned with at home, so we know we have to be at the top of our game when we line up against them,” Rassie Erasmus told SA Rugby.”

“We have a challenging season ahead, which features home Test series against Ireland in the Castle Lager Incoming Series and New Zealand in the Castle Lager Rugby Championship, as well as a Test against Portugal, two matches against Australia and Argentina, respectively.

“To face Scotland, England and Wales at the end of the year will certainly spice things up for the team, so we are really looking forward to the season.”
