New Zealand and South Africa are set to face off in the 2025 Women's Rugby World Cup Quarter-Final on Saturday at Sandy Park.

New Zealand ended their group stage atop the Pool C table with three wins in three games as they managed to oust Ireland, Japan and Spain, while boasting three bonus points. The defending champions are now looking forward to the knockout stages in the hunt for their seventh World Cup.

South Africa, on the other hand, are fighting for their first World Cup title, and started their group stage with two wins against Italy and Brazil. However, heading into the Quarter-Final, they suffered a horror loss against France, and will now have to take on the double-defending champions on Saturday.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match and kickoff time.
