The Boks had to slug it out for the better part of their clash against Wales at a rain-soaked Principality Stadium last weekend and the coach expects another battle at close quarters with no inches offered or given.If it is in conditions like we played last Saturday, where it was raining from start to finish, it is going to be another grind,” Nienaber predicted.
They also have in their ranks wing Duhan van der Merwe, centre Chris Harris and robust flank Hamish Watson as most recent British & Irish Lions tourists.They have very experienced game drivers. They can rip us apart with their attack or go to a kicking game,” Nienaber warned.
