Boks' final World Cup warm-up locked in

The Springboks will face formidable, bruising opponents in their final Test before next year’s World Cup.

Siya Kolisi’s men will take on Fiji at the 20,000-capacity Central Coast Stadium in Gosford on Saturday, 18 September 2027.

It will be their last hit-out before they begin their World Cup campaign 15 days later against Italy in Adelaide on Sunday, 3 October, as they bid to become the first team to win the tournament three times in a row.

The fixture will also mark only the fourth meeting between the two nations, while giving supporters in Australia the chance to see the world champions and one of international rugby’s most exciting sides in action ahead of the tournament.

Bok boss Rassie Erasmus believes Fiji will provide the Boks with exactly the type of challenge they need before beginning their World Cup title defence.
