South Africa v Wales: Free TV, Kick-Off, Teams

Match Overview

Wales conclude their summer tour with a challenging encounter against back-to-back world champions South Africa in Durban on Saturday, July 18. The match, part of the third round of Nations Championship fixtures, kicks off at 4:40pm BST at Hollywoodbets Kings Park.

Steve Tandy's side experienced a setback last week, losing 35-21 to Argentina in San Juan. That defeat followed an opening victory over Fiji. However, the upcoming test against the Springboks is expected to be even more demanding, given Wales' recent 73-0 loss to South Africa in November.
