Head coach Wayne Pivac says Wales are prepared to counter the Springboks’ gameplan when the two sides do battle at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday.
In the most recent match between the Boks and Wales in Cardiff, the Boks needed a 73rd-minute try from Marx and Elton Jantjies’ injury-time penalty to seal a 23-18 victory. On Thursday, following the Wales team announcement, Pivac told media he is confident Wales have done their homework on the Boks.“We know what we think is coming. We looked at the last time we played them, but it was wet conditions that evening,” the Kiwi said. “Also, a six-two split … it’s pretty much what we expect.
“Everyone knows what you coming to, playing at altitude … but it’s exciting and we’re relishing the massive challenge of facing the world champions in their backyard.
