'Wales are a bit like South Africa, where the support is absolutely fever pitch,' he added. 'Rugby means such a lot. You go to the hotel and unless you prevent it, players get rung incessantly through the night. You go to the ground and the traffic controller slows the bus down to make sure you are late.
'You get to the ground and there is something wrong with your dressing room – the lights are off or the heater has been switched off. They tell you one thing and something else happens.
'These things happen regularly in South Africa and regularly in Wales. So the challenge for a team is to be better than that. These are things that you can’t control.
'We are prepared for any shenanigans that might go on. They’re a cunning lot the Welsh, aren’t they? They always have been.'
