The 1937 South Africa tour to Australasia was one of the most successful Springbok tours in history, so much so that the touring team was nicknamed the "Invincibles". The squad was captained by Philip Nel. The tour started on 26 June 1937 at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney, Australia with a 9–5 win over the Wallabies. The Springboks followed up the win with an emphatic 26–17 win on 17 July at the same grounds, outscoring the Wallabies 6 tries to 3 and taking the series 2–0.

  • The 1937 South Africa tour to Australasia was one of the most successful Springbok tours in history, so much so that the touring team was nicknamed the "Invincibles". The squad was captained by Philip Nel. The tour started on 26 June 1937 at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney, Australia with a 9–5 win over the Wallabies. The Springboks followed up the win with an emphatic 26–17 win on 17 July at the same grounds, outscoring the Wallabies 6 tries to 3 and taking the series 2–0. When the Springboks arrived in New Zealand later that year nobody expected them to win the series, as no other South African team had ever achieved the feat, and when the New Zealand leg of the tour kicked off on 14 August with a 13–7 loss to New Zealand at Athletic Park in Wellington, it seemed business as usual. Mr Nel and his men had other ideas however as they came back to deal New Zealand two convincing defeats; a 13–6 win at Lancaster Park in Christchurch and a 17–6 win at Eden Park in Auckland, taking the series 2–1. The latter translates into a 27–6 (5 try to nil) win using today's point system. The 1937 Springbok team remains the only Springbok team ever to have won a series in New Zealand and contained legendary players such as Danie Craven and Boy Louw. (en)
  • Die Tour der südafrikanischen Rugby-Union-Nationalmannschaft nach Australien und Neuseeland 1937 umfasste eine Reihe von Freundschaftsspielen der Springboks, der Nationalmannschaft Südafrikas in der Sportart Rugby Union. Das Team reiste durch Australien und Neuseeland, wobei es 28 Spiele bestritt. Dazu gehörten zwei bzw. drei Test Matches gegen die Wallabies und die All Blacks sowie 23 weitere Begegnungen mit Vereinen und Auswahlteams. (de)
  • La tournée de l'équipe d'Afrique du Sud en 1937 voit les Springboks d'abord rendre visite aux Wallabies pour un premier test joué le 26 juin 1937 (série gagnée 2-0), puis les Springboks remportent leur série contre les All Blacks (2-1). Les All Blacks remportent le premier test match mais s’inclinent lors des deux suivants. Ils ont affaire à forte partie car cette équipe d'Afrique du Sud de 1937 est parfois décrite comme la meilleure qui ait joué en Nouvelle-Zélande. Vingt-deux joueurs sont de la tournée. Parmi ceux-ci, Ferdie Bergh, Gerry Brand, Danie Craven, Boy Louw, Fanie Louw, Flip Nel et Dai Williams sont quelques célébrités. C'est la seule équipe d'Afrique du Sud à avoir remporté une série en Nouvelle-Zélande. (fr)
  • Gli Springboks, ossia la nazionale di rugby a 15 del Sudafrica, si recano in tour in Australia e Nuova Zelanda. Un tour positivo: i sudafricani portano a casa la serie con l'Australia (2-0) e con gli All Blacks (2-1). Fu il tour di maggior successo degli Springboks, tanto che la squadra capitanata da Philip Nel, venne denominata gli "Invincibili". Resta l'unico successo in una serie completa degli Springboks in Nuova Zelanda. (it)
