THE Springboks’ end-of-year-tour will see them clashing with Argentina in Buenos Aires on November 11, before the South Africans make their way to Eire and Britain for one-off matches against Ireland, Wales and England. The Springboks will also play four midweek matches, but these have yet to be finalised. The end-of-year tour adds four tests to the eight already on the agenda. Eight of the twelve tests will be against three of the world’s four top-rated sides. The Boks will play Australia and England three times each and the All Blacks twice.
