Cape Town - Wales are facing a late injury concern ahead of Saturday night's clash against the Springboks in Cardiff.

According to BBC, flank Dan Lydiate is the man in doubt, while the nature of the injury is not yet know. 

Wales are expected to make a late call on his availability. 

If Lydiate is ruled out, Ellis Jenkins would be expected to come into the starting line-up with Aaron Wainwright coming onto the bench.
