Former Wales prop Adam Jones has sung the praises of Wayne Pivac's forward pack for standing up to the might of South Africa as he backed them to beat them in Bloemfontein.
The 100-cap former tighthead has toured South Africa on a number of occasions, cementing his place as one of the world's best on the 2009 Lions tour before winning his final cap in Durban in 2014. And Jones, who is now forging a successful coaching career at Harlequins, believes there was plenty to be positive about despite the last-gasp defeat in Pretoria.
In particular, Jones was full of praise for the performances of the Welsh props and how the pack in general refused to be bullied. With the Springboks making a raft of changes, Jones believes the first Test in Pretoria wasn't their best chance at victory as he backed Pivac's side to challenge once again for a first win on South African soil.
