Wales vs South Africa LIVE: Welsh icons face world champs in big Rugby World Cup warm-up – stream FREE, TV, team news
WALES step up their Rugby World Cup preparations with a tough test against reigning world champions South Africa.
Warren Gatland’s men got their warm-up schedule off to the perfect start having dismantled England 20-9 on Saturday, August 5.
However, complacency seemed to have crept in for the reverse fixture as Red Rose escaped Twickenham Stadium with a 19-17 win last weekend.
And the Welsh couldn’t have asked for a tougher side to try and regain their momentum ahead of the Rugby World Cup in September.
Furthermore, the Springboks will have the wind in their sails after beating Argentina in both of their warm-up matches.
