THE Springboks will target the Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry series against the All Blacks as the one trophy they want to win this year; however, England in the Nations Championship in July will also be a priority for the world champions.

- LEIGHTON KOOPMAN

While the South Africans are excited to face New Zealand in four Tests - three at home and the fourth in the United States - Bok head coach Rassie Erasmus aims to start the 2026 season on a positive note against the English.

He confirmed on Monday that this will be another year of mixing and matching teams as they keep their sights on the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia. The Springboks will specifically focus on the high-flying English and see that Test at Ellis Park as the perfect preparation for what awaits in August and September against their arch-rivals.

Erasmus said it will be difficult to plan teams around all the big matches they have, especially if they want to keep some cards close to their chest for the World Cup.
