Jaden and Jordan Hendrikse have been given the nod to start at half-back for South Africa. It will be the first time the brothers have partnered each other at international level, although they are more than accustomed playing together for Sharks in the United Rugby Championship.

Wales have finished 2024 without a victory after being thumped 45-12 by South Africa in Cardiff. Warren Gatland's side haven't tasted success since the group stages of the Rugby World Cup in October last year.

Wales slumped to a 12th successive Test match defeat and head coach Warren Gatland saw the pressure ramped up on him as world champions South Africa won 45-12 at the Principality Stadium. For the first time since 1937, Wales went a whole calendar year without winning a Test, and many will feel that Gatland's job is now hanging by a thread.
