Ken Owens: Wales clean sweep this autumn would be right up there

Ken Owens says that Wales completing a first autumn Tests clean sweep would be "right up there" in terms of his career achievements. Wales host South Africa on Saturday needing a win to make it four from four this month.

They have already accounted for Scotland, Australia and Tonga in extending their unbeaten run to eight Tests, which represents their longest winning sequence since the 2004-05 season.

Wales have not won nine in a row since 1999, while victories over South Africa and Australia during the past six months mean that for the first time, they have defeated two of the southern hemisphere super-powers in the same calendar year.

And their recent record against the Springboks - four successes from the last five meetings - augers well for Saturday's Principality Stadium clash.
