Springboks gear up for Rugby Championship: All the fixtures, details

Next up for the Springboks is the 2024 Rugby Championship and Tests against Australia, Argentina and New Zealand.

The annual competition gets underway on August 10, with the world champion Boks having warmed up for the campaign with Tests against Wales, Ireland (two) and Portugal in the last five weeks.

The World Cup winners from 2023 will play a rare afternoon game in their first match of the Rugby Championship, against Australia, in Brisbane on August 10.

The Rugby Championship reverts back to its 12-match schedule this year after a shortened version of the competition was in place last year because of the Rugby World Cup.

The Boks play Australia in two matches Down Under, in Brisbane and Perth (August 17), before returning home for two matches against New Zealand, in Johannesburg and Cape Town.

They complete their programme with an away match against Argentina, in Santiago (with kick-off at 11pm SA time) — a new venue for the Boks — before their final match takes place in Mbombela, also against Argentina.
