‘Wales our most difficult opponent’

Boks Siya Kolisi and Malcolm Marx against Wales Siya Kolisi
Standard published on November 19, 2018

Rassie Erasmus says the Springboks’ most challenging tour fixture will be against Wales in Cardiff on Saturday.

The Welsh have won all six of their matches at the Millennium Stadium this year as well as their last three Tests against the Springboks, including a 22-20 victory in Washington DC in June.

Speaking in the Welsh capital on Monday afternoon, Erasmus was very clear on the challenge that awaits his side on Saturday.

‘In our view, Wales are definitely the most difficult opponent we will face on this tour,’ Erasmus said.

‘[Wales coach] Warren [Gatland] has managed to build a superb side with lots of experience, and they are playing a good, balanced game, plus they have good depth and quality in their squad.

‘They put Tonga away last weekend and the previous week they defeated Australia, so we are preparing ourselves for the most difficult Test of this tour.’
