Like many top-tier nations, South Africa hasn’t looked their best in the Nations Championship. However, with two games under their belt, they should be ready to produce a big effort against Wales. The Springboks did enough to beat Scotland last week without being in fear of losing, but the floodgates could open against a Wales team that can leak points quickly. Wales has played well enough so far, including a win over Fiji, but it’s not the best form guide, and the Springboks get the advantage of playing at altitude, which favours their kicking attack. The -40.5 line is sizable, but it could be a one-sided game from the outset.
