Wales will feature Ben Thomas and Max Llewellyn as their midfield partnership when they conclude their season in South Africa. This pairing gets another opportunity, with coach Tandy opting against a more physically imposing midfield.

Fly-half duties will see Dan Edwards return, having started 10 of 12 internationals this season. Sam Costelow, who impressed before an injury and then played against Argentina, is not in the matchday 23. Centre Hawkins provides cover.

Former fly-half Gareth Anscombe commented on the importance of consistency for the number 10 position, noting that players need a run of games to develop decision-making and accuracy. He emphasized that chopping and changing can hinder a fly-half's ability to find their rhythm.

Wales' final match of the season will see Edwards at fly-half, with Thomas and Llewellyn at 12 and 13 respectively. This selection marks the end of Tandy's current selection cycle before November's fixtures.
