South Africa and New Zealand have agreed to stage extended tours of one another’s nations every four years, beginning in 2026.

These trips, the first of which will comprise eight matches in South Africa, including the first three-test series between the Springboks and the All Blacks in 30 years, will be marketed as “The Greatest Rugby Rivalry”.

South Africa’s Daily Maverick reported that New Zealand will have four matches against opposition from the United Rugby Championship, including the Bulls, the Lions, the Sharks and the Stormers – as well as an encounter with South Africa A in two years’ time.

New Zealand is due to host South Africa in 2030 and will present the Springboks with a similarly thorough itinerary. The only time South Africa have triumphed in a three-test series in New Zealand was in 1937.

Meanwhile, the Springboks will host the All Blacks at 3am, and the Wallabies will face Argentina at 7am.

Both matches will be held this Sunday.
