Match preview
Wales coach Warren Gatland wants to end his career as the coach of the team with a World Cup win.
“I have got two games to go as the Wales coach and I want to enjoy these last two games, and there are probably nine or 10 players who won’t be involved in another World Cup as well so they have got to relish that opportunity and be excited about this,” he said.
“You have got a chance to do something special in your life and these chances come along very rarely and you have got to grab them with both hands.
“When you want something bad enough and you really, really want it then it can happen.
“We have a group of players that really want to do a good performance on Sunday and hopefully get to the World Cup final.”
South Africa head coach Rassie Erasmus said: ”I think we have been under pressure to redeem ourselves for the last couple of years. We’ve been number five, six and seven in the world over the last three or four years and we’ve had some proper hidings against almost every team since 2015.
“We’ve lost to Italy, we’ve lost to Japan, we’ve been beaten by 57 points, 39-3 by Ireland. Some people have lost a lot of faith in us at different stages.
“We’ve got a different challenge which is to get respect back and so people start believing in us again. That was the pressure for us.
“Now we’re at the stage where we want to be number one in the world again. Now there is internal pressure and expectation and that’s different.”
