Who Will the Springboks Face First In 2025?

--:--

It looks like Italy will be the Springboks’ first opponents in 2025. The Boks have faced the Azzurri 16 times before in Test matches, winning 15 of those encounters. South Africa cannot host one of the British or Irish nations as the Lions will be touring Australia. So why not try to get France here like we did in 2017, 2005, 2001 and 1993? Peter will explain why in this video and also give his reasons for why he believes this potential Italy series will be a good exercise for the world champion Springboks.
