For Welsh rugby, it has been another damning year. Just two wins in 2025, both against Japan, and they have suffered some heavy scorelines, including conceding 50-plus points at home to England, Argentina and New Zealand. Despite this, their attack has begun to show signs of improvement in recent weeks, but with hat-trick hero Tom Rogers ruled out for this fixture, they will have to rely on others against the strongest defence in world rugby.
South Africa, meanwhile, continue to live up to their status as the best team on the planet. Rassie Erasmus’ side have already claimed victories in the backyards of France and Ireland this Autumn and will likely view this Wales match as a chance to showcase their attacking firepower. Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu has been one of the standout performers of the tour and retains the No. 10 jersey for this one, with a 7–1 bench split selected to bolster their dominant pack in the second half.
