“On paper, we’re maybe the favourites, but knowing the Welsh after playing them in the URC, they’re a proud nation that won’t go away and it’ll be a full-on battle for 80 minutes.”

“Over the last few years, we’ve gotten to know some of the Welsh players through the URC, so there’ll be some familiar faces.”

“It’s great putting on the green jersey and getting the opportunity to be on the field”

“It’s been great. For the early part of the year, I was out of the Springbok mix and then coming back in now, getting opportunities to fight in the four or five games I’ve played.”

“So this weekend – with some new combinations – I’m sure we’ll be ready for the battle.”

“I think what has helped us is training together these last few weeks, We’ve been mixing players, so we really got to know each other, even the younger guys who I haven’t played with a lot.”

“As we saw [against the All Blacks] they can score some beautiful tries, they’ve got a good skill set at the back and they’re always a threat under the high ball.”

“They have some great rugby players.”

“Maybe there’ll be some new combinations, some new guys getting opportunities but I think everyone’s going to be 100% in”

“I don’t think there’ll be any lack of motivation from the guys, I think we’ll handle it with the same intensity as other Test weeks.”

“The team’s done really well and now it’s the last one for us against Wales.”

“There have been a few good games over the last few weeks and actually some big away games that we’ve won”
