[QUOTE="TRF_Ezequiel, post: 585816, member: 42683"] South Africa plays 3 games at home and these are the venues: 08/17/2013 against Argentina at Soccer City, Soweto 09/28/2013 against Australia at Newlands, Cape Town 10/05/2013 against New Zealand at Ellis Park, Johannesburg The Springboks played 3 Tests back in June. 06/08/2013 against Italy at Kings Park, Durban 06/15/2013 against Scotland at Mbombela Stadium, Nelspruit 06/22/2013 against Samoa at Loftus, Pretoria This is the first time since 2006 Bloemfontein is not among stadiums where the Boks play during incoming tours or Tri Nations/TRC. The reason is quite simple. When the Boks or Cheetahs played at Bloem, the attendance was abysmal. Compared to the other venues, this was the biggest issue. When SARU included Nelspruit this year as one of the venues it was already obvious Bloemfontein would lose out. [/QUOTE]
