Reigning Rugby World Cup champions, South Africa, will return to the iconic Wembley Stadium in London for the first time since 2016 for a test match against Japan on November 1. On their last visit to the famous North London venue, the Springboks and the Barbarians played to a thrilling 31-all draw. The Springboks are now regulars in the English capital. They will also face Argentina in the last round of the Rugby Championship at the Allianz Stadium, previously Twickenham, on October 4. The match against Argentina will be the Springboks’ third visit to Twickenham in three years, having beaten Wales there 41-13 in 2024 and New Zealand 35-7 a year earlier, in the build-up to the Rugby World Cup in France.
