CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - South Africa are looking to add two more tests to their calendar for 2025 and will also play the Barbarians on June 28 after coach Rassie Erasmus requested 15 fixtures to help him assess players two years out from the next Rugby World Cup.

The details around the extra two tests have not been revealed but Erasmus wants as much game time as possible in 2025 with players set to be in camp for 137 days.
