In world rugby, there’s one rivalry that stands above everything else – Springboks vs All Blacks. No other matchup carries this much history, power, or pride. For South Africa, New Zealand has always been the rivalry. And globally, this showdown is recognised as the sport’s fiercest contest.
That’s why the quadrennial Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry Tour exists – a tour built for two nations who refuse to be second best. In 2026, the All Blacks will arrive on South African soil for a run of matches across Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria, and Johannesburg, backed by a massive four-Test series that will shake the rugby world.
As for the age-old question: who’s better?
It depends who you ask – and that’s what keeps this rivalry alive. South Africa holds the most Rugby World Cup titles. New Zealand owns one of the strongest win records in rugby history. Both nations are giants. Both expect victory. And when they meet, the winner is often the sport itself.
