If Saturday’s series decider between the Springboks and Wales needed a little more needle, then both teams need look no further than the match between the next generation of both teams in Italy on Tuesday. During a drinks break between the Junior Springboks and Wales in the final match of the Under-20 Six Nations Summer Series, Welsh lock Dafydd Jenkins casually sauntered into the SA huddle and helped himself to a bottle. After they realised what was going on, the South Africans gave him a few shoves, a few words and sent him packing.The 6ft 7in Exeter Chiefs player left with a smirk on his face.
“It’s that thing with South Africans that they have that full confidence that they will win every time.”To summarise. Tindall does not like the Springboks, nor their fans, but he still thinks they will win, it’s just that he hopes they don’t.Jamie Roberts, who earned 94 caps for Wales, likes SA. His short spell with the Stormers in 2020 aside, he said this week that announcing his retirement in the country meant something special to him.
He is in SA working on the telly for the series, but was asked to help out at a Wales training session this week.“It was really weird. I was writing my retirement statement on Monday night and getting quite emotional about it. I just checked my phone and I had a voicemail off Wayne [Pivac, Wales coach].
