Wales vs South Africa live streams bring the 2025 Autumn Internationals to a close with a David versus Goliath contest. With both teams missing players because the match falls outside of World Rugby’s designated testing window, the Springboks’ extra firepower looks important, but can Wales achieve the impossible?
South Africa are deservedly the world’s number one team and are once again looking to win the Autumn International in Cardiff after their 24-13 victory over Ireland a week ago. The Springboks’ strength in depth is what makes them so good, meaning a match without a few of their Prem and Top 14 players should not hamper them unduly. Head coach Rassie Erasmus started with a 7-1 split on the bench, with Cobus Reinach as the only full-back replacement, with Eben Etzebeth and Bongi Mbonambi among those in reserve for a big second-half push. The future star of world rugby, Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu continues as fly half.
