The South Africa Springboks open their 2025 summer international campaign with a match against Barbarians FC on June 28 at DHL Stadium in Cape Town, South Africa.

Set against the backdrop of a busy international test window, the fixture marks the start of a home schedule that includes contests against Italy and Georgia, before the Rugby Championships and Autumn Nations later in the year.

For South Africa, the match offers an opportunity to build cohesion in a transitional squad that includes both returning test regulars and players pushing for their first international caps.

The Barbarians, meanwhile, bring their signature invitational style to the fixture—blending international experience with attacking ambition. The squad features players drawn from top domestic and international competitions.

The Barbarians are being coached by New Zealander and former Australia boss Robbie Deans, who is currently the director of rugby at Japanese outfit Saitama Wild Knights.
