Springboks to host Ireland for two-Test series in July 2024

WE MEET AGAIN: It will be the Boks first game since head coach Jacques Nienaber stepped down following their final victory over New Zealand in Paris. 

Ireland will be heading to Pretoria and Durban next July for a two-Test series against world champions South Africa, the SARU confirmed on Friday as it unveiled its slate of internationals for 2024.

Andy Farrell’s side, which beat the Springboks in October in a World Cup pool encounter at Stade de France, will provide the newly-minted back-to-back champions with their first opposition of next year at altitude on the High Veld at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday, July 6.
