Tickets for the Springboks' matches at Twickenham during the Nations Championship finals weekend in November have already sold out, with demand for South Africa and New Zealand reportedly exceeding that for host nation England.
The Guardian reported that interest in tickets for the world champion Boks and the All Blacks has surpassed that generated by Steve Borthwick's England side for the inaugural competition's decider in London.
Boks top the Southern Hemisphere table
South Africa currently lead the southern hemisphere pool standings at the halfway stage of the competition. The Springboks are no strangers to Twickenham, having faced Argentina, Wales and New Zealand there in recent years under coach Rassie Erasmus.
Six rankings matches are scheduled to take place at the venue across one weekend next month, with two fixtures each on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The format for Sunday's grand finale sees the top northern-hemisphere pool side face their southern-hemisphere counterpart, with second playing second, third playing third, and so on.
