South Africa International Matches 1924

overview file | 1947-1955

In 1924, a South African touring team (the 'Springbok Touring Team') travelled Ireland, Britain and the Netherlands from August 30 to December 3. They played 26 matches, including 5 against 'national teams'. Of those five, one (the match against the Netherlands) is an official international match for their opponents, while the matches against (Northern) Ireland, Wales and England do not appear to have this status.
Below the full list of matches is given, with the 'national' matches in bold face. Details on the matches against Northern Ireland and the Netherlands are also available below. Results are listed from the South African perspective. Presumably all matches were played at the home grounds of their respective opponents, but venues are only listed where confirmed.
