In an exciting twist for Welsh rugby fans, Dewi Lake might still take on South Africa this weekend! Despite a groin injury scare against Argentina, Lake isn’t ruled out yet. He joined light training, suggesting he could still face the formidable world champions. Standby replacements include Ryan Elias and Evan Lloyd, with Elliot Dee already in Durban.
However, the team isn’t without its concerns. Taine Plumtree’s knock has left the side scrambling for cover in key positions, prompting the call-up of Gloucester’s Freddie Thomas for his versatile skills in both the back-row and second-row.
Forwards coach Danny Wilson emphasised the importance of quick adjustments: “It’s all about managing knocks efficiently and making sure our travel plans are sorted ahead of time.” As for Lake, Wilson remains hopeful: “Dewi’s light training session was promising. The next 24 hours are crucial in determining his availability.”
