I’ve written him off too many times already.

This is what fans are for!

Owens' injury must be more serious than Pivac was saying before the AB test. He implied that Owens was close to being able to play.

While I'm not looking forward to the pasting we're about to receive, it's kind of cool that whoever beats us is then instantly proclaimed world number 1

Fiji world number 1 in 8 days then!

Are we likely to see AWJ playing again then, may make it back for another crack at the Six Nations?

Having an operation, expected to be ruled out for the Six Nations too.

Shame he's stuck one short of 150 caps for Wales*. But you can't rule him out of a return until the ink's dry on his death certificate.

*He's already on 162 including the Lions (I know the official records say 161, but nobody's given me a good reason why the Lions - Japan match shouldn't be a capped test, so I'm including it)

Coincidence?

South Africa hotel evacuated at 4am, Boks 'mingle with clubbers' on street

The Springboks did not get a peaceful sleep ahead of their clash against Wales in Cardiff on Saturday - with an early morning wake-up call.

That is ok, they'll take some well-earned breaks on the field.

Real arm wrestle this game. Couple of yellow cards in the first half. Wales currently leading 15 - 12. Steyn super boot just kicked a 50m+ penalty.

[Toddy]

Some Welsh fan runs on to the field and stops Wales from scoring a probable try. Hilarious. He should probably move.

[sparky]

Wales leading 18-15 with 15 minutes to go.

[sparky]

Boks have a try ruled out by the TMO. Welsh crowd delighted.

Don't think he really had an impact, Williams overran the pass anyways. Still, what a knob (I am of course talking about Liam Williams, that ugly fluffybunny)

[Toddy]

Close game so SA need instructions on what to do. Bruno goes down and needs tape on his booties.

[sparky]

Welsh fatties out on their feet in the last ten here. They look totally puffed. Boks score a try to take the lead from a driving maul.

[Toddy]

@tordah Hard to say though. Did the non-players on the pitch impact on the passers decision making? We will never know.

[sparky]

Kicked misses. 20-18 to the Boks with 5 to play. Wales have a chance but momentum with SA.

Yeah, might be. It was certainly a cunty thing to do (the overruning the pass that Liam Williams was doing)

[Toddy]

Bruno now has an eyelash in his eye. Game held up again while instructions are passed on.

[Mattasaurus]

Wales repeatedly offside...

[Toddy]

Brutal defence from SA.
