Pick your Wales team to face South Africa in the second Test as injury to prompt change

Wales will go in search of a first-ever win on South African soil again this weekend when they face the Springboks in the second of three summer Tests.

Wayne Pivac's men in red lost the opener 32-29 in cruel fashion, with the world champions sealing victory with the last kick of the game in Pretoria on Saturday after the visitors had led for much of the encounter.

Pivac has fresh injury worries to contend with before naming his side to face the 'Boks again, with tighthead prop Tomas Francis definitely ruled out after suffering a concussion. It means Sam Wainwright or Harri O'Connor, two inexperienced Welsh youngsters, will be in line for their debut off the bench against the world champions in Bloemfontein this Saturday as prop Wyn Jones is not being considered as tight-head cover.
