Siya Kolisi Anticipates a “Huge” Series Between South Africa and New Zealand in 2026<\/h2>\n\nSouth Africa’s rugby captain, Siya Kolisi, has expressed his enthusiasm for the four-match home series against New Zealand in September 2026. This series, which will span across South African territory, promises to be a momentous event for both the Springboks and the franchise teams that will face the All Blacks.\n\nThe South African rugby federation confirmed that the All Blacks will visit South Africa for a major series for the first time in 30 years, calling it “The Greatest Rugby Rivalry”. The Boks will return the favor in 2030, traveling to New Zealand for the first time in their professional era.\n\n\n

This is going to be something huge and something this generation will never forget.<\/p>Siya Kolisi<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nKolisi, who has led the Boks to consecutive World Cup victories, added that this series is a unique opportunity. “These are the tours we’ve only heard about. Experiencing this for the first time, like a Lions tour, is incredible for us as a group.”\n\nThe All Blacks captain, Scott Barrett, also shared his enthusiasm. “This is a great rivalry, and one that is based on mutual respect, but for 80 minutes these are two teams that give it their all every time they play.”\n\nBarrett highlighted the intensity of the matches and anticipated a memorable tour. “The intensity is very high, and it’s shaping up to be a great tour. The format will be great, and there will be many excited fans watching from home and traveling with us as well. We are looking forward to it.”\n\n\n
