# Rugby: Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus says he has high hopes for their demanding five-week European tour. South Africa will face Japan, France, Italy, Ireland and Wales on the northern hemisphere tour in November. The first group of players and management departed over the weekend, with the full squad set to assemble in the UK today, ahead of the tour opener against Japan at Wembley on Saturday. Erasmus admits that the tour will be challenging given the quality of the opposition they will be facing.
