Wales get their three-match tour of South Africa underway on Saturday the at Loftus Versfeld, in Pretoria, in what looks a stern test.
They’ve never won a game against their hosts in South Africa – losing in all of their 10 previous attempts – and have come out on top in just six of the 37 games between the two nations.
Those numbers do not make pretty reading for Wayne Pivac, whose side endured a hugely disappointing 2022 Six Nations campaign.
Wales’s only win came against Scotland, which is far from ideal preparation for a trip to the Southern Hemisphere to face the world champions.
The Springboks added a home series victory against the Lions to their 2019 World Cup triumph last summer and will be keen to impress the home support in front of what is expected to be a big crowd in Pretoria.
Winning even one of the three Tests in South Africa over the next month would mean that Pivac’s side can come away from this tour with some positivity, but that is certainly easier said than done.
