Tight head believes the Springboks have enough firepower to inflict pain on Wales in the second Test
Springbok tighthead prop Trevor Nyakane was full of fighting talk ahead of the second Test in Bloemfontein.Bok talk turned bellicose in Bloemfontein ahead of the second Test against Wales on Saturday.
“The only way we know how to do things is to be silent bullies,” said Nyakane. “That is exactly what we are going to do. We are going to inflict pain. We want to inflict our physicality on them. So if they are going to be talking or doing whatever, let them do whatever they do best and we will do what we know best.
The versatile prop who was introduced to professional rugby during a seven-year stint in Bloemfontein, said visiting teams usually struggle in the Free State capital and was a little surprised to discover the tourists opted to do their preparations in Johannesburg.“It’s not easy for visiting teams,” he said about playing in Bloem. “After Pretoria and Johannesburg this is probably the hardest place to play because you breathe heavily. The air is dry and it feels like there is not a lot of oxygen.
The Springboks’ last clash there was in 2018 but Nyakane, who was in the squad, missed out because he broke a rib in the lead up to the first Test against England in Johannesburg.
