Springbok fans will have only three opportunities in South Africa to see the Rugby World Cup squad take shape as the 100-day countdown to the tournament kick-off draws nearer...
Tickets for the Castle Lager Rugby Championship matches against New Zealand in Johannesburg (25 July) and Argentina in Durban (8 August) are already on sale. The match against a World XV in Cape Town (11 July) will go on sale on next month.
The Boks will also play Australia in Brisbane (18 July) and Argentina in Buenos Aires (15 August) in a season condensed to clear the calendar for the Rugby World Cup. That means supporters have limited opportunities to see Heyneke Meyer's final squad take shape.
And fans are being offered exceptional added value by host unions when buying their tickets; fans of the Lions and Sharks can bundle in a season ticket with their Test ticket for as little as R330 for example, which includes their final home Vodacom Super Rugby match(es) and home encounters in the Absa Currie Cup (terms and conditions apply).
