South Africa loose-forward Kwagga Smith says they are braced for a backlash from Wales, Scotland and England as the home nations’ British & Irish Lions players harbour regrets over their 2-1 series defeat by the Springboks earlier this year.
The Springboks play the three teams on consecutive Saturdays in their autumn international series, starting this weekend in Cardiff, and Smith believes the controversial Lions tour will add extra spice to the contests."The conditions are different up here and we know it is going to be a battle every game.
One of those wounded Lions is Wales captain Alun Wyn Jones, who had a recurrence of a shoulder injury in Saturday’s 54-16 defeat by New Zealand and is a doubt to face the Boks.
