2006 Italian Tour
After a second disappointing World Cup the side would again begin playing irregularly with one off fixtures over the next several years usually against touring national sides but it would not be until 2006 when they would again undertake another tour to foreign soil. A tour to Italy would be undertaken in June 2006 that saw the South Africans play in two tests and gaining their largest victory to date along with appearing in a separate rugby league nines competition in Montelanico.

Famous quotes containing the words italian and/or tour:
“Their martyred blood and ashes sow
O’er all the Italian fields where still doth sway
The triple tyrant; that from these may grow
A hundredfold, who, having learnt thy way,
Early may fly the Babylonian woe.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“Do you know I believe that [William Jennings] Bryan will force his nomination on the Democrats again. I believe he will either do this by advocating Prohibition, or else he will run on a Prohibition platform independent of the Democrats. But you will see that the year before the election he will organize a mammoth lecture tour and will make Prohibition the leading note of every address.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
