Wales defence coach Shaun Edwards has revealed there has been a very positive reaction from the squad in training this week following the first test defeat in Durban.

The players have gone back to basics as they look to right the wrongs from Saturday and Edwards has been pleased with the response so far.

“There has been a positive reaction in training.  We have gone back to basics particularly in defence, working on our line speed and putting pressure on their big ball-carriers,” he said.

“We know the geography of the game cannot be the same as last week.

“South Africa are the biggest, most powerful team in the world and they are doing a lot of things right.

“We have to look at making some changes, the focus now is just to get on the pitch and focus on training.

“We’ve been able to get some good sessions in this week which will put us in a better place.

“Saturday is a chance for the players to put things right.

“It’s one last game and I always think that layers can put in one last big performance.”
