Unam Tose Springbok Women face off against Italy Women in WXV 2 Round 2 on Fri 20th October 2023 at Athlone Stadium. Kick-off in the UK is scheduled for 15:30. In South Africa it’s at 16:30 SAST, 03:30 NZST in New Zealand, 01:30 AEST in Australia and 07:30 EST in the US.
Springbok Women won the last encounter but Springbok Women are in the best form of their last 5 games.
Heading into the fixture the two sides are separated by just 2 places in the rankings with Italy Women in position 8 and Springbok Women in position 10, underlining just how tight this match could be.
The official squads for Springbok Women vs Italy Women will become available around 24- 48 hours before kick-off. Teams can still make changes up to an hour before the match however.
