The Wales vs South Africa live streams bring the Autumn Internationals 2025 to a close with a David vs Goliath contest. With both sides missing players because the game falls outside World Rugby’s designated testing window, the Springboks’ added firepower feels significant, but can Wales do the impossible?
South Africa are world No.1 for good reason and will be looking for another clean sweep of the Autumn Internationals in Cardiff after their 24-13 defeat by Ireland a week ago. The Springboks’ strength in depth is what makes them so good, meaning a game without a few of their Prem and Top 14 players shouldn’t unduly attack them. Head coach Rassie Erasmus has gone with a 7-1 split on the bench, with Cobus Reinach the only full-back replacement, with Eben Etzebeth and Bongi Mbonambi among those in reserve for a big push in the second half. The future star of world rugby, Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, continues on the tick.
