South Africa downplays ticket sale concerns for England clash

South Africa Rugby has addressed claims regarding low ticket sales for the upcoming Nations Championship match against England at Ellis Park. The Springboks, facing England for the first time in eight years, emphasized that predictions of low attendance were 'erroneous and misinformed.' Concerns arose after elevated ticket prices were announced, but the organization anticipates near-full capacity based on past averages. Alongside this contest, South Africa is set for additional fixtures against Wales and Scotland in July, followed by three Tests versus New Zealand. The statement underscores the Springboks' commitment to ensuring a strong turnout for the match in Johannesburg.
