In amongst the heavyweight clashes between the premier rugby-playing nations of the northern and southern hemispheres is a gem of a match.
World Champions South Africa will play against Saracens in a friendly match at Wembley Stadium on November 17 and it promises to be a entertaining occasion.
Saracens are currently flying high in the Guinness Premiership and will look forward with relish to testing themselves against the undisputed best international team in the world. Sarries also have a major South African influence in their playing and coaching staff as well as at boardroom level so there will be much pride at stake.
The Springboks have a hectic schedule at the end of an astonishing year in which they have won the Tri-Nations and seen off the challenge of a highly competitive British & Irish Lions team and will see this match as the perfect opportunity to tune themselves up for the final push.
Tickets for the match between Saracens and South Africa are still available and can be bought for the extremely reasonable price of £20.
