Kolisi to lead a powerful Springboks side against Wales in autumn finale

WALES will face a frighteningly strong Springboks side at the Principality Stadium tomorrow.

South Africa are without a number of players but the matchday squad Rassie Erasmus has selected will be enough to send a shiver down the spines of Welsh fans.

Erasmus has even opted for 7-1 split on the bench and it is doubtful whether Wales will be able to cope with the power of the visitors.

Double World Cup-winning captain Siya Kolisi captains the side, while Wales will need to find a way of containing the outrageously gifted outside-half Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu who is a former pupil at Llandovery College.

In total there are nine changes from the side which beat Ireland 24-13 in Dublin last weekend.

The players who retained their places in the starting lineup are lock Ruan Nortje, Kolisi, No 8 Jasper Wiese, Feinberg-Mngomezulu, wing Canan Moodie, centre Damian de Allende and fullback Damian Willemse.
