The deal comes just days before the Springboks kick off their season with three Tests against Wales, with the first set for a sold-out Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Saturday (17h05).

"For many, many years Toyota has been one of the most trusted motoring brands in South Africa, and to have them on board as one of our new sponsors is a great moment, said Jurie Roux, CEO of SA Rugby.

"We are living in particularly challenging times, but it speaks volumes of the value of the Springbok brand that we are still able to welcome new partners, and it gives me great pleasure to welcome an iconic brand such as Toyota to the family."

Toyota are no strangers to South African rugby, with the Free State Rugby Union and the Cheetahs having partnered with the brand over a decade ago.
