Aaron Wainwright insists the Wales squad are fully behind head coach Warren Gatland despite their record losing run.

The number eight, a try-scorer against Australia, has been one of the few shining lights for Wales throughout a so-far winless 2024.

Wales have a last chance to halt their run of 11 losses - against South Africa on Saturday - and avoid a first calendar year without a win since 1937.

While few will give Warren Gatland's side much hope against the double world champions, Wainwright said it is the perfect opportunity to prove the Wales camp is still unified.

"We're 100% all still together. It's the players who are out there on the pitch, so we have to step up," said Wainwright.

"As players, we need to really put our mark down going into next week.

"We've got ourselves into this, so we are the ones that are going to have to get ourselves out of it."
