The Springboks are reportedly set to play two "warm-ups" against the USA and Japan before commencing a four-Test series against the British & Irish Lions. A "leaked" itinerary doing the rounds on social media shows that the tour would indeed be taking place in the UK instead of South Africa, despite the document stating nothing has been finalised. The Springboks are reportedly set to play two "warm-up" Tests against the USA and Japan in preparation for a series against the British & Irish Lions that will indeed be held in the United Kingdom. Should the Irish government not be in agreement, the Wembley Stadium and Twickenham in London will host the final two Tests. An official announcement on whether or where the tour will take place is expected at the end of the month.
