However, they will still play home and away Tests against Argentina.

This was confirmed by SA Rugby at its general council meeting on Friday, according to Rapport newspaper.

The Boks are also set to play two matches in Bloemfontein as preparation for the British & Irish Lions series. Their opponents are yet to be confirmed, with the Barbarians and Argentina possibilities at this stage.
