Italy v South Africa: TV channel and kick-off time

Italy welcome reigning world champions South Africa to Allianz Stadium in Turin on Saturday as the second phase of the Nations Championship gets under way.

The Springboks completed their summer campaign with wins over England, Scotland and Wales and will look to maintain that perfect record against the Azzurri. Tougher tests against France and Ireland complete their autumn, while the hosts have it all to do having lost their three summer fixtures against Japan, New Zealand and Australia respectively.

Kick-off time and TV channel

The game kicks off at 11:40am UK time at the Allianz Stadium, Turin. The match will be available to watch live and for free on ITV1 in the UK, with coverage starting at 11am.

You can stream the match via ITV's app ITVX.
