The Springboks boast an impressive record against Wales, having won 27 of the 30 matches played. Wales have won two, while one Test ended in a 6-6 draw (Cardiff, 1970).
Overall, the South Africans have scored 814 points compared to Wales’ 440.
The biggest win for the Boks was 96-13 at Loftus Versfeld in 1998.
