According to Sunday’s Rapport newspaper, Nelspruit’s Mbombela Stadium will play host to a Springboks v All Blacks match.

The match is set to take place on August 13.

Mbombela Stadium has hosted three Springbok Tests, but the All Blacks have never played there.

The arch-rivals were set to play against each other at the venue in 2020, but the Covid-19 pandemic destroyed those plans.

It is believed the two teams will also play against each other a week earlier on August 6 at Ellis Park in Johannesburg.

The Rapport also revealed that there are discussions on the possibility of two weekday matches involving South Africa ‘A’ and a New Zealand XV on August 3 and 10.
