The Otago Rugby Football Union has offered Otago, Southland, Otago Country and North Otago clubs the opportunity to book tickets for the test over the past month.
The clubs in each of the four areas that buy the most tickets get to play a game of Rippa rugby before the All Blacks play the Springboks.
Taieri (841) leads all Dunedin clubs, which have booked 3230 tickets.
Pirates (358), Southern (340) and Green Island (326) are well behind.
Maheno (86) has grabbed the lead in North Otago from Kurow (47) and Old Boys (46), and Clutha (114) and Alexandra (109) are at the front in the Country.
In Southland, Eastern Hawks (79) leads the race from Star (49) and Central Pirates (47).
Clubs have another nine days to buy tickets over the Internet or at the Carisbrook office.
Otago University lock Josh Townsend will start for the New Zealand Colts in their opening game at the world junior championship in Wales tomorrow.
Townsend will play in the second row alongside captain Chris Smith (North Harbour) in the game against Tonga in Cardiff.
Both locks were in the New Zealand team that won the world under-19 title last year.
Also starting for the Colts are Hurricanes fullback Zac Guildford and Waikato midfield back Jackson Willison.
Highlanders prop Clint Newland will make his New Zealand Maori debut against Tonga in the Pacific Nations Cup game at North Harbour Stadium tomorrow night.
Newland will join fellow Highlanders prop Keith Cameron and Hawkes Bay team-mate Hika Elliot in the front row.
Highlanders Isaac Ross and Glen Horton are on the bench, while Southland's Jason Kawau starts at centre and former Otago utility Callum Bruce is at first five-eighth.
