The Highveld XV, also known for sponsorship reasons as the Royal Bafokeng Nation Highveld XV or simply the Royal XV, are a composite provincial rugby union team from South Africa. Like their Coastal XV counterparts, the Highveld XV were created by the South African Rugby Union to provide an opponent for the British and Irish Lions as part of their 2009 tour to South Africa. It is not known if the team will be re-activated for future tours or if this was just a one-off operation. The Coastal XV however will be rebranded as the Southern Kings, which played in Super Rugby in 2013.
