The All Blacks and Springboks will clash for their 100th test in Townsville, Australia on September 25th as the Rugby Championship will be played out in a series of double-headers in Queensland.

The third Bledisloe Cup test between the All Blacks and Wallabies will be played in Perth and September 4th has been the widely speculated date for that fixture.

After much negotiation, Sanzaar confirmed that four double-headers would be played in Brisbane, Townsville and on the Gold Coast.

The remainder of the 2021 Rugby Championship will run from September 12 to October 2.

NZR had opted out of playing the third Bledisloe Cup in Perth this Saturday over player welfare concerns.

The Springboks lead the Rugby Championship after having two wins against Argentina with both matches played in South Africa.

The All Blacks are second and have already secured the Bledisloe Cup for another year with two wins over the Wallabies in Auckland.
