Boks to play All Blacks in Mbombela- PE to host Georgia


SA Rugby has announced that all three Castle Lager Rugby Championship matches - against New Zealand, Australia and Argentina this year - will take place up north.

The three Tests in the Castle Lager Incoming Series against Scotland and Georgia in a new Test window in July will be hosted on the coast.

In what will be a final international at the oldest Test venue in the Southern Hemisphere, Newlands in Cape Town will host the Springboks against Scotland on the 4th of July.

That is followed by a historic first home Test for the Springboks against Georgia, at the majestic Nelson Mandela Stadium in Port Elizabeth on Mandela Day (Saturday, 18 July).
