England to play South Africa for the Coronation Cup

South Africa will play England for the Coronation Cup at Guards Polo Club in Windsor Great Park on 22 July as part of the Hurlingham Polo Association’s (HPA) International Polo Day.

England, having won against New Zealand in 2010 and Brazil in 2011, will be looking for a hat-trick in 2012.
