The South Africa Springboks host the historic rugby union club Barbarians FC as the summer internationals season kicks off. 

As Rassie Erasmus often does, the Springboks squad is a combination of Rugby World Cup veterans and emerging talents, including warhorses like Siya Kolisi, Eben Etzebeth and Handre Pollard.

Four South African players also will be in line to make their Springboks debuts, including Asenathi Ntlabakanye, Vincent Tshituka, Marnus van der Merwe and Neethling Fouche.

Barbarians FC brings a squad with a significant veteran presence, including 17 players with test experience. Former All Blacks captain Sam Cane headlines a group that includes Mark Telea (New Zealand), Cian Healy (Ireland) and Peter O'Mahony (Ireland).
