Wainwright boost for Wales against South Africa

Cardiff Principality Stadium Date: Saturday, November Kick-off: 15:10 GMT

In a game that will pit Wales against world champions South Africa, Aaron Wainwright has been declared fit to provide some experience.

The Springboks will play at Principality Stadium on September 1st, which is when Steve Tandy’s men wrap up their autumn campaign.

Because the match falls outside of World Rugby’s authorized Test window, the management team will be forced to make changes.

13 players from the Wales squad and 10 from the team’s 52-26 defeat by New Zealand last weekend have since returned to their respective clubs in England and France.

Wales have moved their team announcement to Wednesday, and Alex Mann, a fellow back-rower, went off after the final few games of last weekend before getting evaluated for head injuries, will also be available.

Wales’ depth will be stretched by the match, but Springboks coach Matt Sherratt is excited to face them.

Sherratt remarked, “It’s a great opportunity to play against the world champions in our home stadium.”

“It’s a chance for a group of players to compete against the best.” We don’t want to enter that with the mindset of a victim because you can get caught up in it. Only good can come of that.

It will be a worthwhile game if we keep focusing on ourselves as a new group, examine the areas where we need to improve, and observe any signs of improvement.

“We are adamant about putting a good performance on the field and backing up the players,” he said.

Sherratt insists that the selection process does not include giving opportunities to all members of their squad, despite the fact that Wales will be forced to make changes.

He said, “We have to pick the best team around to put on a performance for the country.”

“I don’t believe that’s healthy,” the camp’s players are not guaranteed a cap, according to me.

South Africa’s strong squad should ensure a clean sweep of their autumn victories against Japan, France, Italy, and Ireland, despite the absence of some key players.

Sherratt remarked, “I don’t feel sorry for them!” You are aware of what they are bringing, and watching a good team make you feel good.

They have some elite athletes on the edges, an extremely strong set piece, and an extremely aggressive defense, and they have a powerful aerial team.

We must take that on, and we look forward to what they will do. There must be a lot of intention displayed.

“Some of our players are out, so we are aware of the challenge facing the best rugby team in the world.”
