Springboks, Wales Make Key Changes Ahead of Match

News summary

South Africa has made a last-minute change to their lineup for the match against Wales, with Eben Etzebeth replacing the injured Jean Kleyn. Coach Rassie Erasmus expressed sympathy for Kleyn, who was set to play his first match since the Rugby World Cup, but praised Marco van Staden's experience as he steps onto the bench. Meanwhile, Wales head coach Warren Gatland has implemented four changes in a bid to break their record 11-game losing streak, including starting Sam Costelow and Rio Dyer. Gatland's future is uncertain following a heavy loss to Australia, and a defeat against the Springboks would mean Wales would go a full year without a win. The Springboks are favored to win, having recently defeated England, while Wales is under pressure to perform against the world champions. The match is set to kick off at 19:40 (SA time).
