KEEP PILING THE PRESSURE ON DU PREEZ

FOURIE DU PREEZ started on the bench when we beat South Africa but now he is back in the lineup he is the heart and soul of this Springbok team. From scrum-half he runs all their tactics, he gets their forwards on the front foot and he’s got a superb kicking game. And you watch how many times he will take the high ball in defence, he almost plays like a second full back. He lacks that lightning acceleration he had when I was working with him in 2007 but he’s an extremely experienced, smart player and Wales have to hassle him as much as possible. The flankers must take any opportunity they can to get off their line and deny him space. If you take away a half-back’s time and space then they can get flustered. If du Preez dominates then I think South Africa will win comfortably. But if Wales can disrupt him, they will have a chance.
