Springboks to host All Blacks in two Tests in 2022

The Springboks will host the All Blacks in two Rugby Championship Tests later this year, SA Rugby has confirmed.

The rugby governing body on Tuesday announced the Springboks' home Test schedule for 2022, with Wales also visiting South Africa for three Tests in July.

The Boks will play two home Rugby Championship Tests against New Zealand - at Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit (6 August) and Ellis Park in Johannesburg (13 (August) - and one against Argentina at Kings Park in Durban (24 September).

It will be the first time since 2018 that the All Blacks visit these shores.

Siya Kolisi's charges will also travel for two away Rugby Championship Tests against Australia at yet to be determined venues (27 August and 3 September) and one away encounter against Argentina in Buenos Aires (17 September).

The Welsh, meanwhile, are set to return to South Africa for the first time since 2014 as the Boks kick off their season with three Tests against the Dragons - at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria (2 July), Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein (9 July) and Cape Town Stadium (16 July).
