All the big summer rugby fixtures being played, kick-off times and TV channels you'll need

Rugby lovers from Wales will be firmly focused on South Africa this summer as the men in red look to upset the odds and topple the world champions in their own backyard.

Such a feat, however unlikely it may seem in the eyes of many, would be historical. The odds are long but stranger things have happened and it is poised to be an intriguing series either way as head coach Wayne Pivac finally gets to take his charges abroad on a summer tour, with two previous trips cancelled due to Covid.

The same goes for the other home nations' men, too, who face mouth-watering trips of their own, with Ireland heading to face the All Blacks and Eddie Jones' England going back down to Australia. Scotland, meanwhile, are heading to Argentina, a trip which proved so beneficial for Wales in 2018.

So what rugby fixtures can we look forward to this summer, and what are the TV details for the UK? Here's all the information you need, with the kick-off times in BST:
