In 2024, the Springboks will play four thrilling Test matches against the All Blacks and Ireland. This is a list of every fixture in the house.

Fans of the Springboks have a lot to be excited about.

They will host two of the top teams in the world in 2024 at four of South Africa’s top venues. Here is your whole home schedule for 2024 if you want to watch the reigning world champions play for the first time since they took the world by storm. Additionally, they’ll be hosting Portugal and Argentina.

SPRINGBOKS 2024 HOME FIXTURES:

Saturday, 6 July: SA vs. Ireland (Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria)
Saturday, 13 July: SA vs. Ireland (Hollywoodbets Kings Park, Durban)
Saturday, 20 July: SA vs. Portugal (venue TBC)
Saturday, 31 August: SA vs. New Zealand (Emirates Airline Park, Johannesburg)
Saturday, 7 September: SA vs. New Zealand (DHL Stadium, Cape Town)
Saturday, 28 September: SA vs. Argentina (Mbombela Stadium, Nelspruit)

In front of thousands of ardent Bok supporters, this is an incredible chance for the Springboks to finally squash two of their fiercest foes and establish their dominance over international rugby. Furthermore, the Boks have not defeated the Irish since 2016, having lost their previous three test matches against them.

In the meantime, the Irish have emerged as one of the world’s greatest teams. SA will seek restitution for their World Cup group stage defeat and to end this eight-year-old curse when they play each other in July 2024. Furthermore, since SA teams entered the United Rugby Championship, the rivalry has become more significant.

In the first edition, in 2022, the Bulls knocked out an Irish-laden Leinster who were heavy favourites. A year later, Munster silenced Cape Town to claim the 2023 URC title in-front of a sold out Cape Town stadium. This is going to be an excellent test series between two world class nations.

SOUTH AFRICA TO HOST ALL BLACKS TWICE

SA will host the All Blacks twice, with two exciting matches scheduled for DHL Stadium in Cape Town and Emirates Airlines Park in Johannesburg.

At Emirates Airline Park, the Boks have a fantastic chance to win the Rugby Championship and break their 10-year drought against New Zealand (which will expire in 2024). Remarkably, their last victory over New Zealand came in 2014, when Patrick Lambie scored a 55-meter penalty kick in the 79th minute of play to win a memorable 27-25.

Thus, in 2024, Rassie Erasmus and the Springboks have a fantastic chance to break free from their three greatest hoodoos.
