Springboks v Wales: A Test Like No Other
This is no ordinary international. Played outside the official window, both teams will field experimental line-ups as clubs hold back their contracted stars. That means opportunity knocks for fringe players and rising talents eager to make a statement in front of a packed Principality Stadium.
While the absence of household names might change the dynamic, it also adds a layer of unpredictability. Expect a fast-paced contest with plenty of ambition as two proud nations look to finish the year on a high.
