There is no doubt that it is a great time to be a rugby fan, and after plenty of entertaining international matches this past weekend, there are several more kick off times to jot down in the diary for an upcoming ‘Super Saturday’ of Tests.
Among the standout fixtures to look forward to this weekend, the Springboks will be determined to produce a much-improved performance when they tackle Italy once again, while the same could be said of the All Blacks as they take on France in their second Test.
Meanwhile, Ireland swing into action against Portugal, while Wales will be more than desperate to end an 18-Test losing streak when they face Japan.
There is all this, and more, to look forward to this Saturday, 12 July.
