South Africa kicked off their 2025 in style as they thrashed the Barbarians 54-7 in the first international of the year in Cape Town.
Rassie Erasmus named a strong Springboks side, sprinkling in a few new faces among a spine of the team containing plenty of double World Cup-winners, and they ran in eight tries across the 80 minutes – turning a 19-0 half-time lead into a comfortable triumph.
