Wales face being forced into selection changes and new captain as Pivac counts the cost

Wales' first win over the Springboks on South African soil came at a cost and the medical team will now be working overtime to assess the damage ahead of the deciding Test match in Cape Town.

Wayne Pivac will likely have to ponder at least one or two changes to his side after they drew level in the series, this time coming out on the right side of another dramatic finale in Bloemfontein. But injuries began to mount.

There may well have to be a change involving the skipper, Dan Biggar, and Wales' depth at tight-head is going to be tested like never before. The 13-12 victory may have been one for the purists but there are going to be a lot of sore bodies flying to the Mother City.
