Springbok prop Ox Nché is expecting a brutal battle between the forwards in the first of three Test matches against Wales at Loftus on Saturday.

“I don’t think that because you have one or two good performances against them that must make you to think that you will always do well against them. Who is more prepared and who pitches up on the day will probably be the best team on the day.”

Nché was supported on the subject of the importance of the forwards by Davids who pointed out that set pieces are going to be crucial throughout the series. “Set pieces are always important in Test matches because you want to have top quality delivery in order to get your attack going or to stop the momentum of the opposition.

“So scrums are going to be important and line-out mauls are also going to be important to ensure your delivery. Wales is a very competitive side and if you look back at one of the games we played against them, they stayed in the fight right until the last minute. It is going to be a highly competitive game.”

Wales assistant coach Stephen Jones looks ahead to the 1st Test against the Springboks at Loftus on Saturday.
