Wales will face South Africa on Nov. 23 at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, as both teams look to end their 2024 campaigns on a strong note. 

Wales hasn't had a test win since defeating Super Rugby Pacific club side Queensland Reds in July. Prior to that, the team's last win was a test against the Barbarians last November.

On the other side, SA hasn't lost since its one-point loss to Argentina in The Rugby Championship. 

The Springboks are aiming for an undefeated Northern Tour after wins against England and Scotland. 

The Boks have made several changes to their lineup, including a historic halfback pairing of brothers Jaden and Jordan Hendrikse.
