The Springboks are still expecting a “great challenge” from a depleted and injury-hit Wales when the two sides slug it out in the July series.

The Welsh have never beaten the world champion Boks in South Africa in 10 previous attempts, and they will go into the three-Test tour as rank outsiders having endured a tough Six Nations campaign which ended in a disappointing defeat by Italy.

Speaking at a Bok function in Pretoria, 2019 World Cup winners Malcolm Marx and Trevor Nyakane are cautiously optimistic ahead of Wales’ arrival. Nyakane added: “Wales is one of the sides from the northern hemisphere that never lets go. Some teams you can beat into a submission, but Wales are one of those that will keep coming until the whistle blows.
