Wayne Pivac has warned this summer’s tour of South Africa is the last chance for some of his squad to prove they’re good enough as the World Cup appears on the horizon.
In the space of a year, Pivac and his side went from Six Nations champions to finishing fifth and losing to Italy on the final day of the 2022 edition. Since winning the tournament behind closed doors in 2021, Wales have won just four out of 12 games as they head on a daunting three Test trip to face the world champions.
Recent performances have ramped up the pressure on head coach Pivac, who was once again facing calls for his job following the dismal campaign earlier this year. The Wales boss suggested that talks with WRU CEO Steve Phillips still relate to him taking the squad through to the World Cup next year, but Pivac himself has hinted players are playing for their Test future.
