SARU confirms Wales’ interest in a mid-week match against the EP Kings
The South African Rugby Union (SARU) on Monday confirmed that discussions are being held with the Welsh Rugby Union about a possible mid-week match against the EP Kings before the Castle Lager Incoming Series in June.
The request to play the match at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on June 10 was submitted by the Welsh Rugby Union last week, but it has to be approved by SARU’s Executive Council in order for the fixture to be confirmed.
The Springboks will face Wales on June 14 at Growthpoint Kings Park in Durban and on June 21 at the Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit during the Castle Lager Incoming Series.
This will be followed by a Test against Scotland on June 28 at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth to close off the tour.
