Old foes South Africa and New Zealand collide in a new series in the first “Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry” tour.

The Springboks and All Blacks have reached a reciprocal touring agreement that will see the pair clash in a number of Tests every four years.

The first edition sees Dave Rennie’s side head for South African soil to take on four United Rugby Championship sides alongside a quartet of clashes with Rassie Erasmus’s world champions.

The fourth of those fixtures, which brings together the World Cup finalists from three years ago, will take place in Baltimore on the east coast of the United States.
