All kick off times: Springboks v England, All Blacks v France

It’s going to be another action-packed weekend of international rugby, which starts with Ireland hosting Argentina, and ends with Wales facing Australia.

On Saturday, there are two enthralling fixtures as the Springboks take on England (19:40 kick off time in South Africa) before France face the All Blacks (22:10 kick off time).

There are a number of other big games to look forward to, and here are all the kick-off times to jot down in your rugby calendar.

England are up next after the Springboks’ end-of-year tour did kick off on a high note

Rassie Erasmus said he felt some mixed emotions following the team’s 32-15 victory against Scotland in the opening Test of the Outgoing Tour in Edinburgh on Sunday.

The Springboks scored four tries to none by the hosts, with all Scotland’s points earned compliments of penalty goals, but both Erasmus felt the scoreboard flattered the visitors.

“The scoreboard doesn’t tell the whole story, but we can be proud of the fact that we didn’t concede a try in the last two matches we played against them,” said Erasmus.

“We had to work hard to beat them, so in general we are not pleased with our performance today.”

Elaborating on his statement, Erasmus said: “I was happy about the effort the team showed and winning by 17 points away from home, but we need to work on trying to sync better on the field and handle things better if in case we get injuries.”

The Springboks will travel from Edinburgh to London on Monday and begin their on-field preparations for their clash against England on Tuesday.

Looking forward to their next assignment against England at the Allianz Stadium in London on Saturday, Erasmus said it would be a different test altogether: “Next week against England will be a different challenge as we will be facing a desperate team that come off two losses in matches they could have won.”
