We look at the Springboks schedule and how that will play into their quest for a Rugby Championship title through the 2024 campaign.

Australian rugby is at a low ebb at the moment but the Queensland fans have traditionally managed to get at least 40,000 in the ground when the Springboks have come to town. Only the 2003 Tri-Nations match between the world-champion Wallabies and the Springboks attracted a crowd in excess of 50,000 to the Brisbane ground.
Perth is also known for coming out in force to support South African teams and the Springboks got some good results at the now demolished Subiaco Oval.Ellis Park has its own special place in the rivalry between the Springboks and the All Blacks, from that epic 1995 World Cup final, to Pat Lambey’s amazing Test match winning penalty but it was New Zealand who won the first match between the sides at the famous venue. The All Blacks scraped a 7-6 win over South Africa there in 1928.
Cape Town Stadium hosts the All Blacks for the first time but the men from New Zealand will recall that they have won their last two Test matches in the Mother City.
