South Africans will be able to relive the magic of 1995 this weekend, as the Springboks highly anticipated clash against Italy will be broadcast live across the country, thanks to a landmark broadcast deal between SuperSport, the South African Broadcasting Corporation SABC, and the South African Rugby Union SARU.
The second Test of the Castle Lager Inbound Series kicks off at 5:10pm next Saturday at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha, and it's shaping up to be more than just a rugby match, it's a celebration of 30 years since South Africa's legendary Rugby World Cup triumph in 1995.
For fans tuning in, the action will be available on SABC 2, multiple SABC Radio platforms, and SuperSport on DStv, ensuring no one misses the historic moment, as SABC confirmed.
SARU President Mark Alexander highlighted the importance of the game as a symbol of national pride and reflection:
'The 1995 triumph was a turning point in our nation's story. It showed how sport can unite people across every divide and uplift a country still navigating its early steps in democracy. This Test against Italy is part of that legacy, and everyone should be able to be part of it.'
