Springboks face off against All Blacks in Internationals on Sat 22nd August 2026 at Ellis Park. Kick-off in the UK is scheduled for 16:10 and is broadcast on Sky Sports. In South Africa it’s at 17:10 SAST on SuperSport, 03:10 NZST on Sky Sport, Sky Sport Now, Sky Go in New Zealand, 01:10 AEST on Stan Sport in Australia and 08:10 EST on RugbyPass TV in the US.
Springboks won the last encounter but Springboks are in the best form of their last 5 games.
Heading into the fixture the two sides are separated by just 1 places in the rankings with Springboks in position 1 and All Blacks in position 2, underlining just how tight this match could be.
The official squads for Springboks vs All Blacks will become available around 24- 48 hours before kick-off. Teams can still make changes up to an hour before the match however.

Thank you Dave Rennie
Gonna go out on a limb here and predict that little benny BS shith is going to write at length about “studgate” in the days ahead.
If studgate had a purpose, it backfired. The AB scrum improved dramatically from that point onward.
Allblacks hanging in there need to tackle and take the ball up . I think the springboks might runaway with it in the second half if the allblacks keep making those silly errors it's of penalties unnecessary
Without a scrum, it’s just too difficult… being only 13–12 down at half-time is almost a miracle for the All Blacks. De Groot didn’t look right from the very first minutes of the match. He should have come off earlier.
Losing the set piece battle and the aerial battle. Ruck speed clearance has slowed right down. Boys have a huge 2nd half in front of them!
I’m struggling to focus on life with this game on the horizon.
You and me and a vast number of Kiwi and SAs HH
Anyone who isn't looking forwards to this has to stop following the sport. It is one of the most astonishing games on the rugby calendar. I’d say that SA have the upper hand but it could go either way
Its going to be a very good contest but it's not astonishing. Astonishing implies something surprising, but this fixture happens multiple times a year, every year.
