South African rugby show claim Alun Wyn Jones has been finished for some time as they predict Wales annihilation

Wales have been completely written off by sections of the South African press ahead of their three-Test series against the Springboks this summer.

Wayne Pivac recently named his 33-man squad for the trip, opting for a near full strength group with just two uncapped players in the form of James Ratti and Tommy Reffell. The Wales boss also hinted that he will be looking to take the bulk of this squad through to the Rugby World Cup next year.

Despite the relative strength of the squad, Wales have been out of sorts this year and are long odds to cause an upset against the world champions. And it seems the hosts are in confident mood as well, with outspoken South African pundit Mark Keohane predicting a 'drubbing' in a video posted by SA Rugby Mag.
