With the 2015 Rugby World Cup looming large, the four Castle Lager Rugby Championship teams will play an additional round of international matches on Saturday 15 August following the conclusion of the competition a week earlier.
This round will see New Zealand host Australia at Eden Park in Auckland, while the Springboks will battle it out with Argentina in Buenos Aires – a venue they last visited in 2005 when they defeated Argentina 34-23. The venue and time of the Springboks’ match will be announced in due course.
Meanwhile, the Springboks will begin their Castle Lager Rugby Championship campaign against Australia at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on Saturday 18 July at 12h05 before returning to South Africa for back-to-back Tests against New Zealand and Argentina respectively in Johannesburg on July 25 and in Durban on 8 August at 17h05.
