Wales Team to face South Africa
- 1703
Wales have made 5 changes to the side that faced the All Blacks to face Springboks on Saturday.
Hadleigh Parkes is set to make his debut at 12. Parkes qualifies for Wales on residency grounds on Friday, making him available to face the Springboks the following day.
Saturday is an opportunity to continue to build on what we have done so far and round off the autumn campaign with a big performance.
“We have spoken about exposing the squad to Test match rugby and this weekend is a great opportunity for Hadleigh to earn his first cap and for Aled to make his first start of the campaign.
“We have had a couple of knocks from last weekend, with Ken [Owens], Leon [Brown] and Jake [Ball] unavailable but that just provides an opportunity for Kristian, Scott and Cory to start.” Warren Gatland, Wales head coach
