Weekly sports update: Proteas take on Zim, Springboks play Barbarians

There's plenty to look forward to this coming weekend, with both the Boks and Proteas in action.


The mid-year Test matches kick off for the Springboks this weekend and first up is an outing against the Barbarians in Cape Town.

They go head-to-head with the invitational side in the “Mother City”, with kick-off on Saturday at 5.10pm.

It’s pretty much a scene setter and warm-up for the world champions’ bigger assignments in July, two Tests against Italy and a Test against Georgia.

Then, our newly crowned World Test champions, the Proteas, take on Zimbabwe in two Test matches over two weeks starting this Saturday. Both matches are in Bulawayo.
