In 2024, the Springbok's two main opponents will visit South Africa for a mouth-watering two-test series, while a new opponent will also make a debut as the re-crowned World Champions return from international hibernation on July 6.
New Zealand, currently ranked third globally, returns to face their old rivals in Johannesburg and Cape Town for a series of tests. Additionally, the highly competitive rivalry with Ireland, which currently holds the second spot in the global rankings, ignites the season with a thrilling display of skill and excitement in Pretoria and Durban.
The Sprinboks 2024 Test schedule will start in July and end with a match against Portugal. It will be South Africa's first international encounter against Os Lobos (the Wolves), and the venue will be announced shortly.
Argentina will return to the Lowveld for the first time in eight years to end the Castle Lager Rugby Championship in September, providing rugby fans with a chance to relive the Mbombela Test-week experience.
