Prof Williams has run his expert eye over the entire squad in the days since their bruising 43-17 defeat to the Springboks – a score which, as unwanted as it was, still represents Wales’s smallest margin of defeat on South African soil to date.

And he has only one long-term injury victim to report in Matthew Rees, who has now returned home to be replaced by fellow hooker Rhys Thomas.

Thankfully, no-one else has been ruled out of contention for selection this weekend, but there are still plenty of bumps and bruises to report – not least a broken nose for flanker Jonathan Thomas. However, he’s not going to let that stop him from pulling on that red jersey.
