Wales to Host South Africa at Twickenham Due to Concert Clashes
The match, set for June 22, is relocated because of Taylor Swift and Foo Fighters concerts at the Principality Stadium.
- Wales will face world champions South Africa at Twickenham on June 22, moving from their usual venue due to concerts by Taylor Swift and the Foo Fighters.
- The match marks South Africa's first game since their World Cup triumph and the return of Rassie Erasmus as head coach.
- The game could see both teams depleted as it falls outside the World Rugby international window and coincides with the United Rugby Championship final.
- Wales' head coach, Warren Gatland, views the match as a crucial test for his young squad against the world champions at a neutral venue.
- Following the match against South Africa, Wales will tour Australia for two Tests in July, facing a Wallabies team led by new head coach Joe Schmidt.
