With the roar of the home crowd in his ears, Wales lock Will Rowlands is fired up to impose himself on the Springboks in Bloemfontein on Saturday.
Rowlands stood up in the physical challenge against the Boks when the two sides clashed in Pretoria last week, giving as good as he got in a fiery clash at Loftus Versfeld.
“There were some good aspects about our performance, and we put them under some pressure, but there are definitely things for us to work on that ultimately stopped us getting a result. “They are hard to defend and we have to focus on cutting down the number of penalties we concede to limit their chances. We need to be able to impose our game on them.”The Boks will be defending a run of 11 straight wins over Wales in the Republic at Free State Stadium on Saturday, but Rowlands is confident the tourists have what it takes to upset the world champions in their backyard.
