Ian Jones: Former All Black on the possible return of South Africa rugby tours - Early Edition with Ryan Bridge

Semi-professional rugby tours may soon be back on the table. 

New Zealand rugby is reportedly close to signing off a three-test, eight-match itinerary away against South Africa in 2026 - the Springboks would reciprocate in 2030. 

Former All Black Ian Jones told Ryan Bridge it's wonderful news. 

He said that it’s an absolute trip of a lifetime, and wonderful news not only for the players, but for the fans if they’re able to make their way over to watch.
