South Africa and Wales will compete against each other on U.S. soil for the first time in June, and the event kicks off the international rugby season. Both teams sit in the Top 10 world rankings, with South Africa ranked sixth in the world, and Wales one below at seventh in the world. This will be the 34th meeting between the two rugby powers, who first played each other in 1906. The overall series favors South Africa 28-4-1, but they’ve split the last six matches 3-3.
