Damian de Allende - Facing Japan in London

Loading player...
The veteran Springbok centre Damian de Allende is champing at the bit and raring to go ahead of Saturday’s Test against Japan in London.
It will only be the fourth-time these two proud nations battle it out on the rugby field, and it will be their first encounter outside of the Rugby World Cup. The Test kicks off South Africa’s gruelling five-Test End-of-Year tour, and they will be aiming to get off to a strong start.
Damian de Allende, part of the Springbok squad that lifted the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan, warned that Saturday’s clash with the Brave Blossoms would be no walk in the park.
