Ireland face off against Springboks in Friendlies Round 6 on Fri 20th November 2026 at . Kick-off in the UK is scheduled for 00:00. In South Africa it’s at 02:00 SAST, 13:00 NZST in New Zealand, 11:00 AEST in Australia and 16:00 EST in the US.
Springboks won the last encounter but Springboks are in the best form of their last 5 games.
Heading into the fixture the two sides are separated by just 4 places in the rankings with Springboks in position 1 and Ireland in position 5, underlining just how tight this match could be.
The official squads for Ireland vs Springboks will become available around 24- 48 hours before kick-off. Teams can still make changes up to an hour before the match however.
