Springboks Set for Year-End Tests Against Scotland, England, and Wales

The Springboks will open their year-end tour against Scotland in Edinburgh on 10 November and conclude the season against Wales in Cardiff on 23 November. The Boks will also face the Welsh at Twickenham to open their season on 22 June.

Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus said they were looking forward to heading to Europe again.

“As a team, we want to measure ourselves against the top sides in the world consistently, and facing Scotland, Wales, and England on the year-end tour, two of which we faced in the World Cup, will be fantastic for the team and the players.

“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,” Erasmus said in a statement.

The Bok mentor added: “We have a challenging season ahead, which features home Test series against Ireland in the Incoming Series and New Zealand in the Castle Lager Rugby Championship, as well 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.”
