The Boks will kick off the 2024 Rugby Championship against the Wallabies at the Suncorp Stadium, the first time the world champions will be in Brisbane since 2021.

It means that around 52 000 fans will be in attendance for the fixture.
Having lost 11 out of 12 Tests since 1996 – with their only victory coming in 2013 – the Boks have not enjoyed the best record in Brisbane.
However, the world champions did win in their previous visit to Australia, claiming a 24-8 victory against the Wallabies in Sydney in 2022, when Canan Moodie scored a try on debut.
