INJURY UPDATE: Wales will be without one of their speedsters for Saturday’s series decider against the Springboks in Cape Town.
In a statement on Monday, Wales revealed that wing Alex Cuthbert will play no further part in the series.
The 32-year-old was forced off the field in the 17th minute of the second Test in Bloemfontein after he suffered a shoulder injury.
He was replaced by Josh Adams, who scored the crucial late try which helped Wales claim a famous 13-12 win at the Free State Stadium.
In the statement, Wales revealed that they will not be bringing in any cover ahead of Saturday’s clash.

Wales head coach Wayne Pivac will be hoping that Cuthbert will be the only injury blow.
Captain Dan Biggar took a blow to his shoulder in Bloemfontein and went off just after half-time, while prop Dillon Lewis departed the action with an arm problem.
