In June 2014, [[Wales national rugby union team|Wales]] toured [[South Africa]], playing a 2-test series against the [[South Africa national rugby union team|Springboks]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-news/wales-set-tour-south-africa-2013105|title=Wales set to tour South Africa in 2014|last=WalesOnline|date=7 December 2012|website=walesonline.co.uk|access-date=14 September 2017}}</ref> In addition to the two [[Test match (rugby union)|Test matches]], Wales also played a warm-up uncapped match against domestic club side {{Rut|Eastern Province Kings}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wru.co.uk/eng/news/30086.php#.U5WjfmRwbIU|title=Wales to face Eastern Province Kings|website=www.wru.co.uk|access-date=14 September 2017}}</ref> The three matches coincided with the [[2014 mid-year rugby union internationals|June International Window]], playing in the second and third week of the window.

Wales entered the test series on the back of 14 consecutive losses to South Africa; the last time Wales won against South Africa was in June 1999, the only time Wales have beaten South Africa. Wales were on 16 consecutive losses to the Southern Hemisphere greats, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, with the last time they beat a Southern Hemisphere great was in November 2008, and have not won an away match to the Southern Hemisphere greats since 1969.

The 14 consecutive losses to South Africa were extended to 16, while the 16 consecutive losses to the Southern Hemisphere greats were extended to 18 following a 2–0 series defeat. The only win of the tour came in the un-capped match against the {{Rut|Eastern Province Kings}}, 34–12. During the test series, Wales and South Africa contested the [[Prince William Cup]], which South Africa retained with the series victory. It was the seventh time South Africa won the trophy to Wales' zero.

==Squads==

===Wales===
Before the tour, the [[Welsh Rugby Union]] announced that on 30 May, a Wales senior trial match would take place at the [[Liberty Stadium]] in [[Swansea]], the first of its kind in 14 years.<ref>{{cite news |title=WRU confirm Wales senior trial match ahead of South Africa tour |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/27332469 |website=BBC Sport |date=8 May 2014 |access-date=14 September 2017 }}</ref> The failure of the Welsh regions to qualify for the [[2013–14 Pro12]] play-offs meant that, for many of the players, there would be a five-week gap between the end of the season and the first Test. The teams were announced on 13 May, with the Probables squad to be coached by [[Rob Howley]], and the Possibles squad by [[Robin McBryde]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Gavin Henson named in Wales Probables squad for trial |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/27378354 |website=BBC Sport |date=13 May 2014 |access-date=14 September 2017 }}</ref> The match fell outside the international window, so players based outside Wales were not required to be released to play, in accordance with IRB regulations.<ref>{{cite news |title=English clubs block Wales players from trial match |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/27356468 |website=BBC Sport |date=12 May 2014 |access-date=14 September 2017 }}</ref> No players based in England were released for the match, while all the France-based players selected for the match except Dan Lydiate ended up participating.
