The Springboks are set to take on the All Blacks in a blockbuster pre-World Cup Test at Twickenham on 25 August. Kick off is at 19:30 (UK time) and 20:30 (SA time).
Earlier this week, it was confirmed that over 65 000 tickets have already been sold, with the iconic stadium holding a capacity of 82 000.
With two and a half months still to go until the match gets under way, there is every expectation that this unique fixture will be played in front of a capacity crowd, which would make for an incredible occasion.
REMINDER: Springboks’ season officially underway from this Sunday!

It’s worth remembering that this clash at Twickenham takes place just two weeks before the 2023 Rugby World Cup gets underway, and for many touring fans, it could serve as the perfect ‘curtain raiser’ before heading to France for the global showpiece.
Don’t miss the chance of witnessing one of rugby’s greatest rivalries, but this time in the UK and at home of Rugby – Twickenham. Tickets are available via Ticketmaster and the RFU.

THE MATCH
It was announced in October last year that the blue-ribbon fixture of Test rugby — South Africa vs New Zealand — will have one final instalment before heading to the 2023 World Cup. This time, they won’t meet in a specific competition or tournament; instead, they will play a once-off match at Twickenham.
The Test, scheduled for Friday, 25 August, will be a once in a lifetime opportunity for fans as it will be just the seventh showdown between the bitter rivals played at a neutral venue, and indeed only the second between the Springboks and All Blacks at the ‘Home of the Rugby’. The last time being the semi final of the RWC 2015.
