TOKYO - The mighty South African pack has all the tools needed to end a four-year losing streak against Wales when the two rugby giants meet in Sunday's World Cup semi-final, Springboks forwards coach Matt Proudfoot told reporters on Tuesday .

"Every challenge you face as a pack of forwards ... whatever their way of challenging you, there's always a question you've got to solve," he said."You've always got to find a way, find the challenge, identify what you're going to do about it, and then execute it.
