Springbok prop Trevor Nyakane says the first Test against Wales on Saturday at Loftus Versfeld will feel like a homecoming as he will return to his old stomping yard.

Nyakane ended his long association with the Bulls last year when he moved to France to join Top 14 side

The former Blue Bulls Limpopo youth prospect has established himself as one of the best props in the world over the past year.He is expected to be paired with Ox Nche and Bongi Mbonambi in the front row. The 33-year-old is hoping Bok coach Jacques Nienaber will give him the nod to run out onto the field at a potentially full-capacity Loftus.

“It'll be a big one [running out onto the Loftus field]. I'm still waiting for the coaches to give me the green light to go. It'll be lovely to come back and play to a full crowd at a stadium that was my home. It would be really lovely. The Springboks and Wales have been involved in epic battles in recent years. The physical element both teams bring to the table usually makes for great viewing. It is often easy for the Springboks to dismantle a team with their physicality but when it comes to the Welsh they find it hard.“They're coming with a lot of experience. We all know Wales is one of the sides in the northern hemisphere that never let go,” he said.
