The 2026 Nations Championship gets underway this weekend and England have been handed the ultimate test in their tournament opener.
It is the inaugural edition of the Nations Championship and it promises to feature a number of heavyweight clashes in the coming weeks, with this fixture being no exception.
The Springboks will be aiming to record a 10th successive victory as they continue their preparations for attempting to win three consecutive Rugby World Cups next year.
In contrast, England are looking to put an extremely disappointing Six Nations campaign them and restore some confidence during this fiercely competitive competition.
