# Rugby: History will be rewritten when the Springboks launch their 2025 season against the Barbarians at the Cape Town Stadium on Saturday, 28 June. It will be the first time the famous international invitational outfit will be in action on South African soil. It will be the ninth clash between the two sides, and the first since 5 November 2016, when the teams played to a 31-31 draw at Wembley Stadium in London. Since the first clash between the sides in 1952, the Barbarians have won four games and the Springboks three, to add to the draw nine years ago. The Boks’ last victory over the Barbarians was on 10 December 2000 in Cardiff, by 41-31.
