WARNING THAT A TEAM IN WALES' DIRE POSITION ARE DANGEROUS

BOKS READY FOR A FIGHT

» The Irish-based lock forward makes stunning comeback to the Bok fold after being out injured.

Springbok lock Jean Kleyn says the team is preparing themselves for a massive fight when they take on Wales in their final end-of-year tour game at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on Saturday night (kick-off 7.4opm).

The Boks are in top form, having won io of their 12 games this year, while beating Scotland 32-15 and England 29-20 over the past two weekends, so they are heavy favourites heading into the Welsh clash.

The hosts are the complete opposite, being under immense pressure, having lost 11 straight games - 10 coming this year - and on the brink of finishing the season without a single win for the first time since 1937.
