The highly anticipated game will kick-off at 5 pm at the Hollywoodbets Kings Park Stadium in Durban.
This marks the Springboks’ second game since their triumphant return from the Rugby World Cup, following their game on July 6 at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in South Africa.
In a recent clip shared on the official Springboks Instagram account, stars Damian de Allende and Franco Mostert reflected on their first match back in Mzansi since the World Cup.
Franco Mostert said, “I know the World Cup was special, but I must say that the first game being back here in South Africa makes it special. From the messages and all the support from the lifts was just amazing. When they started to sing the anthem and the singer (KB) stopped, it was incredible to hear everyone singing together; it united us.”
Damian de Allende added, “I am lucky enough to play a lot of tests, but I think [the Loftus match] was probably among the top three. From what I can remember, when KB let go of the mic and everyone started singing the last part, I sort of stopped singing because I got a bit emotional. It was very nice hearing a national anthem in South Africa again after winning the World Cup.”
