Loftus Versfeld is officially sold out and it will be the largest crowd ever for a Test between the Boks and Dragons in South Africa.

It will also be the Springboks' first Test as world champions after last year's British & Irish Lions series was played behind closed doors.

The Springbok flanker, Kwagga Smith, said they want to perform for their loyal fans.

“Hearing that Loftus is packed to 100% capacity is really great,” said the versatile loose-forward.

“Last year with the British & Irish Lions was difficult, because you play a game, but the atmosphere was just not there.

“I think that Loftus is going to have a huge atmosphere this weekend. We are really excited and we want to go out there, deliver a good performance and give back to the fans that actually come out and support us.”

Saturday’s Test in the capital city kicks off at 17:05.
