What channel is Italy v South Africa International match on? Kick-off time and live stream
Check out our guide about how to watch Italy v South Africa in the Autumn Internationals 2022, including TV details and UK time.
Italy pulled off the shock of last weekend when Kieran Crowley’s side stunned Australia to win 28-27 in Florence. There was a stroke of luck to the performance as Ben Donaldson missed a conversion after Cadeyrn Neville’s late try, although the team’s performance up to that point was warranting of a positive result.
Full-back Ange Capuozzo scored two stunning tries, the 23-year-old continuing to grow with ever performance, while a try for Pierre Bruno and the boot of Tommaso Allan did the rest of the work and contributed to an historic victory.
Gli Azzurri’s opponents this weekend are a different prospect altogether. World champions South Africa lost for a second time in a row last weekend against France in Marseille as both teams were reduced a player, with Pieter-Steph du Toit shown red for a dangerous clear-out and contributing to the team’s loss.
Having experienced back-to-back defeats, expect a strong response from the Springboks on Saturday. Battling hard in the loss to France and Ireland a week earlier, it is not as though Jacques Nienaber’s men have been far off the pace.
In years gone by, a trip to Italy could have been seen as an easy win, but this current crop of Italian players are not a walkover. Full of confidence following their recent successes and coming up against a South Africa team in desperate need of a win could be a step too far.
