Both sides are raising funds for their nominated charities, including the Rugby Footlball Foundation, the RPA Benevolent Fund and the South African Rugby Legends Association.
Martin Corry, Jason Leonard, Josh Lewsey, Joost van der Westhuizen, Brendan Venter, Percy Montgomery and many more are in the line-up in for what is sure to be an intense and physical display.
