A World XV will play the Springboks at Ellis Park in Johannesburg on June 3. Australian Bob Dwyer, who coached the Wallabies to the World Cup title in 1991, will be the coach of the World XV.

Former All Blacks Carlos Spencer, Justin Marshall and Bruce Reihana, as well as French full-back Thomas Castaignede, have agreed to participate in the short tour, which includes a match against a Western Province XV on June 10.

In 1989, shortly before South Africa was re-admitted into international sport after the abolition of Apartheid, the Springboks defeated a World XV 2-0 in a two-test series.
