But South Africa have been so bad recently Wales should really be expecting to win.<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since the World Cup, the Springboks have played 11 official test matches, winning four and losing seven. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most embarrassingly, they have failed to win a game this autumn. They started their series at Wembley with a draw against the Barbarians, lost heavily to England at Twickenham, before being ignominiously defeated by Italy for the first time ever last weekend. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This could be the worst South Africa team to visit Wales in a long time.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>2.\u00a0<\/strong><b>The Bok-lash: Beware the wounded animal<\/b><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">South Africa may not be the force they once were, but Wales will still have to be wary. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Not only did the Springboks win the last meeting between the two sides in the World Cup quarter-finals, but they will be desperate to make sure they don\u2019t return home from their tour winless. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">They will be fighting extra hard for this victory, particularly after that 20-18 loss to Italy.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>3.<\/strong><b> Hard hits and powerful running<\/b><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">South Africa are renowned for having big forwards and powerful ball-carriers and that is still the case despite their poor form. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">They may have lost the gigantic Eben Etzebeth to concussion, but their pack is still one of the fiercest in the game. Adriaan Strauss is still a dynamic force at hooker, and Tendai \u2018the Beast\u2019 Mtawarira can shrug off tackles with ease. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wales will need to prepare for a very physical encounter up front.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>4<\/strong><b>.
