- The South African Country Districts XV was an invitational rugby union side selected to play against touring international teams. In one of its first guises, the Districts side lost 32–12 against the touring British Isles' Barbarians at Potchefstroom, on 24 May 1969. Barbarians' touring party included eight future or former British and Irish Lions with the likes of Mike Gibson, Sandy Arneil, Bob Taylor, John Pullin and John O'Shea having toured the Republic in 1968. In 1978 and 1980 the team was multi-racial in composition. The Districts' multi-racial predecessor was the South African Invitation XV which on 7 June 1975 beat the French at Newlands in Cape Town by 18 points to 3. In August 1978 the Country Districts XV played the touring American Cougars at the Border Rugby Union Grounds in East London before 5,500 spectators, winning 44-12. As one of four games played prior to the Currie Cup final of 1979, a Country Districts XV defeated the multi racial South African Barbarians side (shorn of its WP forward contingent) 29-13 in Cape Town prior to their departure on their UK tour in October.
