Plenty rain over the last day and the pitch is wet but well drained.

Time for the anthems

Let's do this Bokke!!!

The sides are on their way out

This is the 13th time these two sides have done battle with the Springboks having won the previous 12

Is there any reason Cotzee isn't picking youngsters from Super Rugby?

Welcome to Ultimate Rugby's coverage of this Italy & South Africa Test match.

Both sides are desperate for a win but none more so than the 2 time world champions.
South Africa and new coach, Coetzee, are under immense pressure and have been chopping and changing the line up's all season.
Italy last won a game at home last year against Samoa on November 8.

Both sides have come off comprehensive losses and will be looking to earn the respect of their fans back
