The Springboks are finally returning to Southern Hemisphere test action with the news that they will be part of this year’s Castle Lager Rugby Championship.
SA Rugby announced on Friday that there will be two home tests for the Boks against Argentina in August before they head to Australia and New Zealand to contest the rest of the Rugby Championship for the first time in two years.
The two home tests against Argentina mean the Boks will this year have seven home test matches, including the two warm-up tests against Georgia before pitting themselves against the British and Irish Lions.
