The Qatar Airways Cup will be up for grabs when the Springboks tackle the Barbarians for the first time on South African soil in June.
It will be the third edition of the event, in which the Boks won the trophy on both previous occasions – against the All Blacks in 2023 and Wales last year, both in London.
The world champion Boks and the Baa Baas will cross swords on Saturday, 28 June at Cape Town Stadium. The legendary invitational side will be represented by Test centurions Sam Cane, Peter O’Mahony and Conor Murray.

The 28 June clash in the Republic will mark the ninth meeting between the Boks and the black-and-white-clad Barbarians, and their first since an thrilling 31-31 draw at Wembley Stadium in London on 5 November 2016.
