CAPE TOWN – SA Rugby finally confirmed that a South Africa A side will take on the Bulls as a final warm-up for the Springboks ahead of the British and Irish Lions Test series.
SA A will face the Bulls at Cape Town Stadium on Saturday at 1pm, while the Lions will play their scheduled match against the Stormers at 6pm.
“It’s obviously not what we had planned when the fixtures were first scheduled, but due to the pandemic, the situation is very fluid.
“Having said that, a double-header in Cape Town on Saturday is certainly something to look forward to, and we’d like to thank everyone involved in making it a reality.”
Director of Rugby Rassie Erasmus added: “We want to be as well prepared as possible when we meet the British & Irish Lions, and this additional match offers us an invaluable opportunity to work on our structures, while at the same time offering the players an opportunity to stake a claim for places in the Test team.
