The optimistic leader has been forced to play a weakened side but he has vowed to get tough with his countrymen in the first Autumn Test this weekend.

His source of inspiration comes from South Africas physical victory over the beaten World Cup finalists in the Tri-Nations Series in August.

Williams said: Theyre highly skilled but when the South Africans went for them it put them off their game.

They dont have a weakness but the South Africans hustled them with their physicality and perhaps we didnt in the summer Tests.

We werent as physical as we should have been or we might have been in the two Tests in Australia.

When you look at them as a team they have just been beaten in a World Cup final and just lost a great Tri-Nations Series which shows there arent a lot of weaknesses there.
