Twickenham fixture: December 4

South African Rugby Union (SARU) have confirmed that the Springboks will play the Barbarians at Twickenham on Saturday, December 4.

The fixture will bring down the curtain on the team's international season and will be the seventh meeting between the teams, concluding the Springboks' end-of-season tour, which features Tests against the four Home Unions during November.

"The Barbarians fixture has become the grand finale of the European autumn series and we're delighted to be taking part once again," said Andy Marinos, SARU manager of national teams.

"The fixture has a character all of its own and is an opportunity for the players to demonstrate their skills against the very best international players but with different pressures to that of the Test arena.

"The Barbarians routinely produce an outstanding combination as they showed when a team featuring several Springboks beat the All Blacks last season.

"There'll also be plenty of incentive for our players following our last game against them in 2007."
