Italy will welcome reigning world champions South Africa to Allianz Stadium in Turin this Saturday as the Nations Championship second phase gets under way.
The Springboks completed their summer campaign with wins over England, Scotland and Wales and will be looking to maintain that perfect record against the Azzurri today.
Tougher tests against France and Ireland complete their autumn, while the hosts have it all to do, having lost their three summer fixtures against Japan, New Zealand and Australia respectively.
Here is everything you need to now.
The game kicks off at 11:40am UK time at the Allianz Stadium, Turin.
The match will be available to watch live and for free on ITV1 in the UK. Coverage starts at 11am.
You can stream the match via ITV's app ITVX.
