The world champion Springboks are looking for a fifth straight win on tour this month.


Wales host world champions South Africa at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on Saturday (5pm), with the visitors looking to win their fifth straight match on tour of Europe this month.

The Boks have so far beaten Japan, France, Italy and Ireland.

Both teams are much-changed from last week’s Tests as this match falls outside the international Test window.

Below is The Citizen’s coverage of the match on Saturday.
