WRU say SA match will meet its target
Western Mail
|November 26, 2025
THE WRU insist this weekend's crowd for the clash against South Africa is expected to meet targets and explained why the fixture is going ahead.
-
Saturday's match falls outside of World Rugby's international window, meaning Wales' English and French-based players are not available for selection.
Many have questioned the logic of the scheduling, given 13 players will be unavailable for Test inclusion and Welsh clubs will be without their internationals this weekend.
Former Scotland lock Jim Hamilton branded it "ridiculous" while former fly-half Lee Jarvis called it "madness" for the game to be going ahead.
It is understood the fixture was actually arranged as far back as 2020 under the union's previous regime.
