How to watch Wales v South Africa for free today

Wales host South Africa at the Principality Stadium this weekend.

Welcoming the back-to-back world champions to town, Warren Gatland is trying to avoid his 12th successive defeat as Wales head coach. But the challenge of the Springboks is perhaps the most difficult of them all.

The South Africans are coming off the back of an impressive 29-20 victory against England, and beat Scotland 32-15 the week before.

Wales on the other hand, have not won a Test match since they defeated Georgia in the World Cup of 2023. With pressure building on Gatland, Saturday's clash could have big consequences.

Here's everything you need to know about the match.

What has been said?

Wales head coach Warren Gatland: ""On this journey, we’ve needed time," explained Gatland.

"But I’m aware international rugby is about results. Hopefully on Saturday we give a better performance. It was disappointing how much we switched off. We had opportunities but didn’t take them. We showed some courage to get back in the game."

South Africa head coach Rassie Erasmus: “This is our last match of the season, and we are determined to finish the year on a positive note,” said South Africa head coach Erasmus.

“We selected a squad that shows a good mix of experience and youth, which is crucial as we look to maintain some consistency in selection, while at the same time giving guys like Jordan and Cameron, who have been exceptional at training on tour, a chance to show us what they can do."
