Bokke vs Wales

[MiketheSnow]

Grey old day here

Roof will be on thankfully

I'll be happy with a 62-38 kind of loss with Wales improving at scrum time, the line out and discipline.

Would be great to see some long range tries too.

Boo to Bristol for not releasing LRZ for this one and then naming him in today's match against Northampton on the bench.

Pity Nicky Smith not available. Top five LH in world.

South Africa leading after half an hour, 14-0. Tries to Steenekamp and Hooker. Springboks forwards are utterly dominant. Wales looking like a side who have been thrown together because that is what they are.

[sparky]

Mngomezulu butchers a try.

[sparky]

Weise scores. 0-19 to the visitors.

[sparky]

South Africa have 61% possession and 73% territory.

[pooler fan]

@sparky this is going to get very messy. Getting absolutely smashed up front

[sparky]

@pooler-fan South Africa will win by at least 50 points and might get close to 100 points.

Raisse Erasmus is an absolutely ruthless fluffybunny. No sympathy from him for the woes of Wales Rugby. He's a killer. He's enjoying watching Wales bleed to death this afternoon. A brutal, beautiful mismatch.

[pakman]

Welsh crowd is extraordinary.

[sparky]

The only thing keeping this close is brave Wales defence. Making 92% of their tackles at the moment. But I can't see it staying there for long.

[pakman]

@sparky Bravo.

[sparky]

The difference in the ruck speed is remarkable. South Africa playing the game faster and with so much more power.

[sparky]

4th South African try. Van der Berg.

Wales 0 South Africa 28

Half time.

Wales relieved to be heading to the changing room.

[sparky]

Wiese and Hooker the pick of the Boks.

[pooler fan]

There's going to be some battered bodies in the Welsh changing room.
Just shows there's no substitute for power in rugby, you lose the physical battle and it's game over.
Wales battling hard but the 2 Bok centres are bigger than most of the Welsh forwards. We'll only get weaker when the bench empties in the 2nd half too.

[game_film]

Hopefully there’s a ball in the Welsh changing room so they can practice touching it

[sparky]

Aaron Wainright goes off with a bleeding eye. Ouch!

[sparky]

Try number 5. Louw.

And Wales lose Taine Plumtree to the sin bin as well.

0-35.

[sparky]

Another one. Mngomezulu. 0-42

If this was a boxing match. The referee would have stopped it.

If this was a kid's game, the coaches would be talking about how long more this should go on.

Getting very ugly with 33 minutes to go.
