In 1921 the [[South Africa national rugby union team]] toured [[New Zealand]] for the first time. During the tour, South Africa played three [[Test match (rugby union)|Test matches]] against the [[New Zealand national rugby union team|All Blacks]], the series was drawn 1–1.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/5387120.stm|title=All Blacks magic: New Zealand rugby | publisher= BBC|accessdate=10 August 2010|first=Sean|last=Davies|date=21 October 2008}}</ref>


The '''1921 South Africa rugby union tour of Australia and New Zealand''' was the third tour made by the [[Springboks]] rugby team, and their first tour to Australia and [[New Zealand]]. South Africa played three [[Test match (rugby union)|Test matches]] against the [[New Zealand national rugby union team|All Blacks]]. The series was drawn 1–all, and the long-running controversy between the countries over the All Blacks' inclusion of Maori players began.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/5387120.stm|title=All Blacks magic: New Zealand rugby | publisher=BBC|access-date=10 August 2010|first=Sean|last=Davies|date=21 October 2008}}</ref>
The tourists played four matches in Australia, winning all four; and nineteen matches in New Zealand, winning fifteen, losing two and drawing two.<ref>{{cite book |last=Jenkins |first=Vivian |authorlink=Vivian Jenkins|editor= |title=Rothmans Rugby Yearbook 1982-83|year=1983 |month= |publisher=Rothmans Publications Ltd |isbn= 0-907574-13-0|pages=320–321 |chapter= |chapterurl= |quote= }}</ref>


The Springboks played five matches in Australia, winning them all. The three most important matches against [[New South Wales Waratahs|New South Wales]], were retroactively accorded Test status by the [[Australian Rugby Union]] in 1986, but remain as tour matches only for the [[South African Rugby Board]].


South Africa then played nineteen matches in New Zealand, winning fifteen, losing two and drawing two.<ref>{{cite book |last=Jenkins |first=Vivian |author-link=Vivian Jenkins|title=Rothmans Rugby Yearbook 1982–83|year=1983 |publisher=Rothmans Publications Ltd |isbn= 0-907574-13-0|pages=320–321 }}</ref>
== In Australia ==
The three most important match was played against the [[New South Wales]] selection. Springboks won all. In 1986 the [[Australian Rugby Union]] decreed the five full-internationals played by New South Wales in the 1920-1928 period. But it remaion unofficial match for the [[South African Rugby Board]].

The 1921 South Africa rugby union tour of Australia and New Zealand was the third tour made by the Springboks rugby team, and their first tour to Australia and New Zealand. South Africa played three Test matches against the All Blacks. The series was drawn 1–all, and the long-running controversy between the countries over the All Blacks' inclusion of Maori players began.[1]

The Springboks played five matches in Australia, winning them all. The three most important matches against New South Wales, were retroactively accorded Test status by the Australian Rugby Union in 1986, but remain as tour matches only for the South African Rugby Board.

South Africa then played nineteen matches in New Zealand, winning fifteen, losing two and drawing two.[2]
