Wales vs South Africa preview
Wales wrap up their World Cup preparations today when they welcome South Africa to the Principality Stadium. Warren Gatland’s team have had mixed results in recent weeks, securing a surprise 20-9 win over England in Cardiff two weeks ago before falling to a narrow 19-17 defeat at Twickenham last weekend.
After a turbulent 12 months, there have been plenty of positives in the displays against England. Veteran fly-half Dan Biggar impressed off the bench in both games, while centre Joe Roberts looked at home on the international stage and full-back Liam Williams showed his undoubted skill in his first game for five months.
Wales are making 13 changes from the side that lost to England as Gatland gives his players one last chance to impress before naming his 33-man World Cup squad on Monday, 21st August. South Africa will certainly provide a stern test, with the Springboks recently finishing second in the Rugby Championships and picking an experienced team for the clash in Cardiff.
World Cup-winning captain Siya Kolisi is back after a knee injury, while prop Ox Nche is set for his first Test appearance of the year and scrum-half Jaden Hendrikse returns to the team as coach Rassie Erasmus makes 11 changes to the side that beat Argentina earlier this month.
Recent history suggests it could be a close encounter at the Principality, with nine of the last 12 games between the two teams being decided by fewer than seven points. The Springboks did win two of their three matches against Wales last year, however, the touring side secured a first-ever win on South African soil thanks to a last-minute try from Josh Adams.
