Apart from the resumption of long tours from the All Blacks, South African rugby fans can also look forward to the NZ Māori visiting these shores in the not-too-distant future. South African Rugby Union president Mark Alexander explained a multi-layered approach in the strengthening of their bond with New Zealand Rugby which includes visits from the Māori and the Silver Ferns.
On the 'To The Last Drop' podcast Alexander also reiterated the need to broker a global season, a long-held ambition that he will help drive as a World Rugby council member.
He also assured podcast hosts Liam Del Carme and Brenden Nel that there is life in Springbok rugby after Rassie Erasmus.
