Wales take on South Africa in enemy territory with Twickenham hosting the summer Test.
Warren Gatland’s side had hoped to welcome the world champions to Cardiff but were forced to relocate the fixture due to Taylor Swift’s tour taking up the Principality Stadium.
It is therefore at the home of English rugby that the two sides meet, with an inexperienced Welsh line-up facing a tall task against the Springboks.
Rassie Erasmus has named a strong South Africa side even in the absence of several key figures as they gear up for a summer series against Ireland to come.
Here’s everything you need to know:

Team news
Uncapped scrum half Ellis Bevan is one of four potential debutants in a young Welsh side, with James Ratti, Eddie James and Jacob Beetham all waiting for an international introduction on the bench. The Japan-based Liam Williams returns after missing the Six Nations, but flanker Jac Morgan has been ruled out of the summer after a fresh injury blow.
Prop Vincent Koch wins his 50th cap for South Africa as part of a loaded pack that includes seven World Cup-winners and the rising star Evan Roos. The Springboks may also hand out first caps to four players: fly-half Jordan Hendrikse and wing Edwill van der Merwe start, while back row Ben-Jason Dixon and versatile back Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu are among the replacements.
