# Rugby: The Springboks will face Fiji in their final warm-up match before the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia. The Test will be played in Gosford, north of Sydney, on 18 September next year, just over two weeks before South Africa begin their title defence against Italy. It will be only the fourth meeting between the two countries, with Fiji having reached the World Cup quarter-finals in 2023. Rassie Erasmus says Fiji are one of the world’s top 10 teams and will provide a strong final test before the tournament.
