Wales are being widely written off ahead of their three-Test series against the Springboks this summer, but the world champions are paying their visitors some respect.
The two countries have had some extremely tight battles in recent years. Wales have won four out of the last six, with the two defeats coming in the last two encounters, though both games were decided by less than a score.
Despite the regions’ trials and tribulations in the URC this season, particularly when playing on South African soil, the hosts are aware that Wales will provide stiffer opposition than the domestic outfits.
