Matfield rates Jordaan versatility

They were summoned as replacements for Juan de Jongh and Frans Steyn respectively.

De Jongh spent four nights in hospital this week with pneumonia and has been advised to take a break from rugby.

Matfield is happy to have Olivier and Jordaan involved.

"We know what Wynand brings to the team and he knows and understands the way Heyneke wants to play. Paul has played really good rugby this season and can be used at both 12 and 13," Matfield said.

He added that Wales have an impressive defence and are difficult to penetrate, while also highlighting their ability to retain the ball.

Matfield also spoke about Romain Poite.

"He is a strict referee who produces almost one card per match. However, we met with him on Wednesday and are happy with our relationship," Matfield concluded.

South Africa will host the Dragons in Durban tomorrow.

Kickoff is at 5pm.

Wales have never beaten the Springboks in South Africa.
