The Springboks face Italy, France and Ireland during the northern leg of the Nations Championship. How many of those Tests will they win?
The Boks are top of the southern-hemisphere standings after bonus-point home wins against England, Scotland and Wales in July, ahead of the second-placed All Blacks on points difference.
Next up for the world champions are Tests in Turin (7 November), Paris (13 November) and Dublin (21 November).
The top southern-hemisphere team will face the top northern-hemisphere team – currently France – at Twickenham on 28 November.
