The number eight is relishing the challenge in Wales’ final World Cup warm-up game.
“If there is a team you are going to come up against at international level that is going to set the bar physicality-wise it is going to be South Africa.“Let’s not wait for them to bring the challenge to us. Let’s get off the line and meet them and show what we can do physically.
“I think the past two games we have played against England we have set our mark physicality-wise and it’s about building on that now, taking it into Saturday and then the World Cup.Wainwright looks like being a key part of Wales’ back-row armoury at the World Cup. He made his Test debut in 2018 and featured during the following year’s global showpiece tournament in Japan, but he has also experienced time in the wilderness, not being involved for 14 successive Tests before Wales faced France in last season’s Six Nations.“Going to Japan quite young and experiencing that World Cup, I look back with fond memories, but I probably did not capture it as well as I would have liked to,” he added.
“The training camps I have gone on this time in Switzerland and Turkey I have been able to experience things a lot more, enjoy working hard and being around the boys. “I played the final game of the Six Nations and loved my opportunity to get back on the pitch and put the red jersey on again.
