Wales v Springboks

[MiketheSnow]

Lucky with third try - offside - and SA denied a try. Could easily be 17-14 to SA even though we've dominated

[Crash]

Man, that Hadleigh 'Jones' Parkes fella looks a million dollars...

[MiketheSnow]

Well done SA.
Deserved a try there.

[MiketheSnow]

Just reward.
Watched the tape. Listened to the coach. Executed.

Wales 21 - 15 SA

Yep, looks like the halftime "Aww, come on guys, can you just play a bit better? Please?" speech worked.

[MiketheSnow]

3 1/2 autumn matches and we still can't put the outside man in space except by the cross-field kick.

Kick every time

[JustAnotherFan]

Well done Boks

[MiketheSnow]

TIme for our props to get cramp.

SA in ascendency.

Wales 21 - 22 SA

56 mins gone

[MiketheSnow]

SA lucky not to have yellow card for shoulder to AWJ head

[MiketheSnow]

Anyone's match with 17 to go.

[MiketheSnow]

Great lineout drive to within 5m for Wales but then blow the ball shift

[MiketheSnow]

Great patience and precision from Wales.

SA penalised for not rolling away.

Halfpenny with the three.

Wales 24 - 22 SA

This has been a great 2nd half so far, now that both teams are playing.
Gonna be disappointing if it turns into penalty attempt after penalty hunting.

[Tordah]

Louis Schreuder makes a big difference for the boks, but Jantjies with two knock ons in two minutes negates that

[MiketheSnow]

Brilliant from Faletau and Webb.

Make the Boks wirk for it.

[Tordah]

hilarious ending, Patchell with a worse than Donald-in-Hongkong-kick and then group cuddle maul till the final whistle

[MiketheSnow]

Fuck we made that look hard.

SA by far the better team in the second half.

Big result for Wales in the context of the Autumn series.

Tried way more players at this level compared with last year.

And some found wanting and some very much played their way in.

[Kruse]

Ended up being a decent game,
I think that means SA drops to 6 on world rankings, Scotland to 5th?
And probably a fair reflection, WTF?

[Crash]

Good second half from both teams.
About fitting that Hadleigh 'Jones' Parkes fella was MOTM
Navidi and AW Jones played well.
Jantjes will be kicking himself for sure for those 2 knock-ons. SA are a shadow of their former selves, reckon we may see an even greater exodus of SA players to these shores shortly.
