South Africa has offered to host all remaining games in the Rugby Championship after a community COVID-19 outbreak prompted a new lockdown in New Zealand and forced that country to cancel two home tests against the Springboks and put a trip by its team to Australia on hold.

South African Rugby CEO Jurie Roux says South Africa was “well-versed” in holding rugby tests “within the prevailing COVID restrictions” after hosting the British and Irish Lions for a three-test series, which ended earlier this month.

He says it is prepared to host all five remaining rounds of Rugby Championship games in South Africa, pending their government’s approval.
