Josh Adams wants Wales to demonstrate clear improvement when they face Argentina and South Africa away from home on successive Saturdays. The tour comes after Wales followed heavy November defeats with Test wins over Italy and Fiji.
The scale of the challenge is obvious: Wales conceded 125 points across losses to Argentina and South Africa at the Principality Stadium, including a 73-0 defeat by the Springboks. Adams’ view is that matches in San Juan and Durban will provide a sharper measure of where Steve Tandy’s squad now stands.
Adams brings useful context to the Argentina leg, having been part of the Wales group that won a 2-0 series there eight years ago. He is also coming off an opportunistic try against Fiji, a moment that underlined the value of chasing lost causes and staying alert near the in-goal area.
Argentina, meanwhile, have adjusted their squad after a 47-38 home defeat by Scotland. Marcos Kremer, Efrain Elias and Justo Piccardo have been added, while Mateo Soler and Luciano Asevedo have been left out, with Felipe Contepomi identifying intensity and maul defence as areas needing attention.
