The Springboks could face the USA Eagles in a warm-up Test prior to their series against the British & Irish Lions later this year. "I approached the Springboks and they were in a similar position to us without fixtures and they said they could be looking for games," Gold said. "Hopefully, we will fulfil a need for the Springboks by getting some of the rustiness off and also get some game time ourselves. "The plan is to play the Springboks either down there if the tour takes place in South Africa or if not, we could be coming to the UK. South Africa and the USA have squared off four times in history, with the Springboks winning all four occasions.
