In early August, Nike and SA Rugby introduced a limited-edition Springbok jersey featuring the lyrics of the South African national anthem in five official languages. SA Rugby CEO Rian Oberholzer stated the design “speaks directly and honestly to the motivation of the team and management – they play for the people of South Africa and wear their hearts on their sleeve.” Following this, officials unveiled a unique magnetic trophy for the tour. The trophy consists of two halves joined by magnets, utilizing aluminum leaves and stones from both nations to symbolize their distinct cultures. The winner of the four-test series, which concludes in Baltimore, USA, on September 12, 2026, will receive both halves; a 2-2 draw would result in each nation retaining one half. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-19: Springboks and All Blacks unveil unique magnetic trophy The Springboks and All Blacks have unveiled a new magnetic trophy for their rugby rivalry.
