Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Wales captain and pivot Dan Biggar said the key to stopping a player of Elton Jantjies’ skills was to cut the supply line at the source: the Springbok forwards.<\/p>\n

The Boks are armed with a beefy and deep array of forwards, although they\u2019re missing 2019 World Cup winners Duane Vermeulen and Pieter-Steph du Toit.<\/p>\n

Biggar, though, will have eyes on his opposite number Jantjies come the first of three Tests at a sold-out Loftus this Saturday (17:05).<\/p>\n

STATS | Wales’ HORRIFIC record at Loftus<\/p>\n

Jantjies got the nod from Bok head coach Jacques Nienaber ahead of incumbent Handre Pollard, who arrived later in camp after winning the French Top 14 with Montpellier last weekend.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve played against Elton quite a few times and he\u2019s got all the tricks in his skill set, hasn\u2019t he, in terms of his kicking and passing game. We\u2019re fully aware of what he brings,” said Biggar.<\/p>\n

“Handre brings a real control and territory-based game. He makes very few mistakes.<\/p>\n

“Elton has got pretty decent eight guys in front of him in that pack. If we can create some problems for the forward pack, we can make his life a lot more difficult. The same applies to Faf de Klerk.<\/p>\n

“If we don\u2019t get the upper hand there or stem the flow from there, as you have to against any South African team you play, then most nines and 10s are going to have a pretty good afternoon.”<\/p>\n

Load shedding at Loftus? Bulls charged up to combat blackouts for Boks v Wales<\/p>\n

The Wales first Test will be the first time spectators will see the world champions at home since 2019, against Argentina on the same ground.<\/p>\n
