South Africa v Italy

It was June 2006 when the  South African Rhinos left their shores for a two test tour of Italy 
The Rhinos were successful back then but that was 12 years ago 
This October in Sydney, South Africa and Italy meet again in test match rugby league 
The match will be played at Marconi Stadium, Bossley Park on Friday October 12  with a
7 30 pm kick off.

Italy will be fielding a team of talented young players of Australian /Italian heritage
As was the case with the South Africa  / Malta test back in June, the Rhinos will be drawing on players from South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

Both countries will be looking at developing their players for their respective  RLWC 21 campaigns
This test recognises the great relationship that both countries share and it is another step forward  to an ongoing partnership on and off the field.

The match will be live streamed. The link will be posted shortly before kick off on the South African Rugby League  and Italian Rugby League facebook  pages
