Now that's is good news. That's going to be a tough tour!
At least there will be neutral referees this time....

I would have been in favour of bringing back SA tours if, for example, the Springboks had left the TRC, but I just don't see this as being something international rugby needs.

@Mr-Fish yeah, i kind of thought saturation (playing the same teams multiple times a year) was a bit of the problem, i did kind of like the idea of the RC dropping back to every other year

@Daffy-Jaffy Nothing - or very little to do with the apartheid ban and more with familiarity able to cope with altitude and neutral refs.

WTF?the scoreboard was a big success for the Springboks
Why would they decide to play a 4th test on a neutral venue if Twickenham wasn't a successful trial for both countries unions?

I was merely referring to the painful day on the scoreboard for an AB supporter.
I am pleasantly surprised that less than a year later we have a scrum that can compete with yours.
RG Snyman was terrifying that day as was the ref who happens to be in charge this weekend. Yikes -
Maybe Rassie surprise us with some of that Twickenham starting XV. Moodie, Am, AE, Mapimpi, Libbok, Snyman, Kitshoff are all back in the squad.

Mate this is best thing I have read all year, it's getting a step closer.
Makes me rexcited about future of rugby again!!
I would rather follow this than a WC anyday , (and before anyone gets excited, that's just me) .
Nothing excites me more than ABs.Boks or any NZ/SA rugby fixtures really!! I know I an old bastard , but SA (and used to be Wales also) are tests I seem to recall loving the longest!! -

Pretty incredible for you guys to host the Lions in ‘29, and Boks in ‘30.
