The South African pack has all the tools needed to end a four-year losing streak against Wales in Sunday’s World Cup semifinal, according to forwards coach Matt Proudfoot.
Proudfoot says: “Every challenge you face as a pack of forwards... whatever their way of challenging you, there’s always a question you’ve got to solve.
“You’ve always got to find a way, find the challenge, identify what you’re going to do about it, and then execute it.
“The biggest thing I am happy about as a forwards coach is how the players have taken on the challenge and taken on the ownership to identify the problems and solve the challenges on the field.
“It’s not that we go out there with a blunt plan and hammer away at it.

“We’ve got specific things we want to achieve as a pack, and that gives me confidence that whatever the opposition is going to do or change or bring to us, that these guys are equipped to handle that challenge, and I’ve been very happy with the way they have done it. They’re growing every day.”
