Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber has claimed "desperate" Wales will be dangerous this summer, adding that Wayne Pivac has already told him he's coming to win the series.
Pivac's side arrived in Johannesburg on Friday morning ahead of their first Test in Pretoria next week, with few offering Wales much hope after a dismal Six Nations that brought just one victory and a first home defeat to Italy. However, Nienaber, who had already called Wales "desperate" earlier in the week, offered more context to why he expects Wales to cause the world champions problems this summer.
Speaking at a press conference in Pretoria on Thursday, the Springbok coach compared Wales' current predicament to where South Africa were a year out from the 2019 World Cup. Despite going on to win the tournament in Japan, the summer of 2018 saw them lose to Wales in Washington - the first match of Rassie Erasmus' reign.
